The EU responded petulantly to the Kremlin's refusal to let them into negotiations with a statement about "continuing to work on peace"
The European Union continues to participate in diplomatic efforts to end the war, despite Moscow's statements that it will not invite Europeans to the next round of talks among Ukraine, the United States, and Russia in Abu Dhabi. EU Commission spokesperson Paola Pinyo said this on 29 October.
"We have been and continue to work to put an end to this horrific war and to achieve a lasting, sustainable peace," she emphasized. At the same time, Pinyo did not confirm whether the EU will be represented at the next meeting.
The day before, Putin aide Yuri Ushakov said that Europeans could attend the talks "if they buy tickets," but no one would invite them to the table.
Zelensky, for his part, said that Ukraine would not derail the meeting even without EU participation if the United States insists on the trilateral format. However, he said it is impossible to discuss the security architecture of Europe without the Europeans themselves.
The next round of talks is tentatively planned to be held in Abu Dhabi from 6 to 10 November.
