French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed European delegations will participate in upcoming US-mediated talks between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has announced that European delegates, including France, will attend upcoming peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi concerning the war in Ukraine. Speaking in an interview with French broadcaster RTL on Sunday, Barrot confirmed that "Europeans will be well represented" at the discussions scheduled for November 10 and 11.

The talks, mediated by the United States, aim to bring together Ukrainian and Russian delegations.

European governments have consistently insisted on having a seat at the table in high-level discussions shaping Eastern European security architecture.
