Story summary

European officials, including France's foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot, will participate in U.S.-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine scheduled for this week in Abu Dhabi, despite earlier Kremlin objections that Europe should not be involved. The talks, set to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, were initially planned as a trilateral session involving the United States, Russia, and Ukraine. However, Barrot stated that France will ensure Europe's voice is heard at the negotiations. Meanwhile, Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov had previously ruled out European involvement, arguing that a trilateral format was already agreed upon. The discussions are expected to address security guarantees for Ukraine, post-war security architecture in Europe, and economic opportunities for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Despite this inclusion of European voices, experts caution that meaningful breakthroughs may still be unlikely given the complex nature of the conflict.
