E3 nations to represent Europe at Abu Dhabi talks on Ukraine
France, Germany, and the UK will represent Europe at talks in Abu Dhabi as European forces continue post-conflict deployment exercises.
France, Germany, and the United Kingdom will represent European interests in upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi regarding the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, according to reporting by Le Monde. The E3 nations will send senior diplomatic advisers, including Emmanuel Bonne, diplomatic chief at France's Élysée Palace.
These diplomatic developments coincide with ongoing military preparations by European allies. Led by London and Paris, 2,800 troops from 11 nations are conducting exercise "COALITION 26.2" across Poland, France, and Turkey. The training aims to prepare forces for potential post-conflict deployment to support Ukraine's economic recovery and military rebuilding, though observers note any future deployment remains contingent on peace agreement terms.
