Europe will take part in talks on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi – Barrot
Europe will be represented at talks on the war in Ukraine during the trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said this on Sunday, Censor.NET reports, citing RTL.
Europe’s voice
"The Europeans will be well represented. France will be in Abu Dhabi to take part in these discussions. I can’t yet tell you who will represent France this time, but France will definitely be there," he said.
He noted that Europeans had made their views known in recent weeks, stressing to US mediators that "no discussion about the future of our continent can ignore our expectations and demands."
"France will ensure that Europe’s voice is heard," he emphasised.
