️🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 Politico: US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are pressing Moscow to let European representatives join the next round of talks on ending Russia's war in Ukraine.
Washington wants the US-Russia-Ukraine meeting this week in Abu Dhabi, the first of its kind since February, to be the last without Europe at the table. The American envoys are expected to consult separately with European officials because Russia opposes their participation in the main talks.
The talks are supposed to cover security guarantees for Ukraine and territorial disputes. European governments have not yet agreed on who will represent them and are expected to discuss the issue at an informal EU summit in Dublin later this week.
