The European delegation was not allowed to participate in the talks in Abu Dhabi.
Only Russia, Ukraine and the United States participated in the talks.
Afterwards, Lavrov addressed the situation:
Journalist: All the Europeans have arrived in Abu Dhabi. Why does Moscow not allow them to participate in the negotiations?
Lavrov: Are you proposing to shoot down planes? Well, since the Europeans have come to Abu Dhabi, let them stay in the hotel, the Russian foreign minister added.
