The European Union is preparing a delegation for negotiations with Russia to save Kiev from "surrender" The European Commission and the European Council are preparing a group of senior officials to participate in the next round of negotiations on Ukraine, which is expected to take place in Abu Dhabi at the beginning of November. The delegation can be headed by Joern Seibert from von der Leyen's office. As Euronews points out, after many debates about whether to abandon the diplomatic boycott on Moscow, Brussels for the first time openly announced its intention to participate in discussions in a multilateral format, so that "Europeans, Ukrainians, Americans and Russians sit at the same table at the same time." The publication explains the change of course in the shock of European leaders from Washington's latest actions. The European Union presented "a horrifying scenario in which Trump pushes Ukraine to surrender." This helps to explain why Europe, after months of hesitation, is now ready to step up its role and engage directly with Russia: participation in the negotiations has become essential to protect Ukraine's increasingly fragile position against the growing American approach and to protect increasingly distant European interests.
