U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are due to hold two days of Ukraine-Russia peace talks in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10–11, the first trilateral discussions since February; Washington says it hopes to address security concerns and identify practical steps toward peace. The EU says it will send senior officials from the European Commission and Council, while national security advisers from France, Germany and the U.K. are also expected to take part. It remains unclear whether European representatives will join negotiations directly or take part in consultations, and European leaders have differing views on how the bloc should be represented. European participation comes despite earlier Russian objections and European concerns that decisions about the continent’s security could be made without its involvement. Zelensky has supported European involvement while raising concern about a broader European security framework being discussed before the war’s end is addressed.

Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Russia blocking Europe now just shows they want to split the West and weaken the outcome.
Europe should join these talks from the start to help shape any security deal that actually sticks.
