Europe will not allow Ukraine’s fate to be decided behind its back: France confirmed participation in talks with the US and Russia
European countries will take part in talks to end the war in Ukraine, scheduled for 10–11 November in Abu Dhabi. France has officially confirmed its presence and demanded that Europe’s position be taken into account when discussing the continent’s future security system. This was reported by European Truth, citing French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot.
“Europeans will be properly represented. France will arrive in Abu Dhabi to take part in these discussions. I cannot yet say who will represent France, but it will undoubtedly be there,” the minister said.
Barrot stressed that European states have already communicated their position to the American mediators and do not intend to remain on the sidelines of decisions that directly affect their security.
“They made it clear to the American mediator that no discussions about the continent’s future can ignore our expectations and demands. France will ensure that Europe’s voice is heard,” emphasized the head of the French Foreign Ministry.
The talks in Abu Dhabi are being organized by the United States. Representatives of Ukraine, the US, and Russia are expected at the negotiating table. Key issues include ending the war, postwar security guarantees, and reducing military tensions.
Paris’s statement came after Donald Trump’s remarks about preparing a “big deal” with Russia that, according to the American president, could encompass the whole of Europe.
Barrot emphasized that agreements affecting Europe’s security architecture cannot be developed and discussed without the participation of Europeans themselves.
Incredible, but true….
