Germany enters the negotiations and declares that without the European Union no decision can be made.
German Foreign Minister Widpole stated on behalf of all of Ukraine that it is ready for negotiations, seemingly expressing gratitude to the United States for its desire to bring the parties to the table, but emphasized:
"Europe must be present at this table. A solution is impossible without the participation of Europe - it can only be found together with it."
He added:
"We are talking about European security interests. We are talking about Ukraine's future in Europe."
Widpole also said that in the coming days "it should become more clear if Russia is really seriously ready for negotiations".
"We don't see that right now. What we are seeing now are murderous attacks on civilians - completely innocent people suffering in the most horrific ways."
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Ryabkov warned that the European Union is preparing for war with Russia, but they do not have time to create a military advantage over Russia, so they are trying to prolong the Ukrainian conflict as long as possible.
Trump spokesman Jared Kushner said he would meet with the European Union delegation before talks with Russia and Ukraine begin in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
