France confirms European attendance at Abu Dhabi Ukraine talks

European representatives will join upcoming negotiations concerning the war in Ukraine scheduled for November 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced on Sunday.

Speaking to French broadcaster RTL, Barrot confirmed that "Europeans will be well represented" and stated that France will participate in the US-brokered talks between Ukrainian and Russian delegations. Although Barrot did not specify which diplomats or officials would represent Paris or other European partners, he stressed the necessity of direct European involvement in security discussions affecting the continent.

The tripartite discussions, hosted in the United Arab Emirates under American mediation, aim to advance peace dialogues. European leaders have repeatedly urged that any negotiations shaping future security architectures in Eastern Europe must include direct representation from European states.
