The French foreign minister said that the Europeans will participate in the negotiations on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.
The Europeans will join the negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, which should take place on November 10-11 in the United Arab Emirates, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barro said on RTL. "The Europeans will be well represented and France will come to Abu Dhabi to take part in these discussions," he said. At the same time, Barrow did not reveal who exactly will go to the negotiations from Paris.
According to him, in recent weeks the European countries asked the American mediator to consider their interests and demands when they discussed the future of the continent. "France will make sure that Europe's voice is heard," the minister promised. Barrow did not provide details on the format in which the European side will take part in the negotiations.
Previously it was reported that the meeting in Abu Dhabi would be tripartite: the United States would act as a mediator. Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again appointed his aide Vladimir Medinsky, known as "Tough", to head the delegation. The new round of negotiations will be devoted to de-escalation, humanitarian measures and post-war security, said the US President's special envoy Steve Witkoff.
At the end of October, The Telegraph's sources from among Western diplomats said that Putin agreed to involve European representatives in the settlement in Ukraine, because he saw it as an opportunity to force NATO to abandon its eastward expansion and return to the 1997 borders.
