European representatives will join upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi regarding the conflict in Ukraine, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced on Sunday.

The negotiations, mediated by the United States, were initially expected to focus on direct trilateral discussions between Ukrainian, Russian, and American officials. Speaking during a broadcast interview, Barrot confirmed that "the Europeans will be well represented" and confirmed that French delegates would be present at the sessions scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.

While Barrot did not specify which individuals would represent France, he emphasized the necessity of European involvement in discussions concerning continental security. The Abu Dhabi talks represent the latest initiative by Washington to bring Ukrainian and Russian negotiators to the table.
