Europe will be represented at US-mediated Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi: France
What happened
France will send a representative to the US-mediated Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi, and Europe will have a voice there, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on Sunday.
Barrot did not say who will represent France, according to Cyprus Mail.
The talks are set for Tuesday and Wednesday and had until now been framed as a three-way format of Ukrainian, Russian and US officials.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants European allies involved, while Russia has suggested there is no place for them at the table.
Barrot said past talks sometimes took place with Europeans and sometimes without, but this time they will take part.
US envoy Jared Kushner said Washington will consult European partners on the sidelines and move to a broader format with their direct participation if progress is made.
“The Europeans will be represented and France will be in Abu Dhabi to participate in these talks”
