The United States is trying to convince Russia to allow Europe to conduct trilateral negotiations. Financial Times.
"We firmly believe that European participation is necessary at this point to end the war," one US official told the publication.
According to Politico, Donald Trump's representatives, Steve Wiktoff and Jared Kushner, at the negotiations in Abu Dhabi will insist that Russia allow Europe to participate in the negotiations.
The Russian President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said the day before that tripartite negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, mediated by Washington, are planned in Abu Dhabi.
Regarding the presence of Europeans, you know that the Americans have their own channels of communication with Europeans, the Ukrainians with Europeans, and they are probably already building their own coordination mechanism. But I repeat again, we are talking about tripartite negotiations in Abu Dhabi.
