Yuri Ushakov, a senior Kremlin foreign policy aide, stated that European countries would not participate in the next round of talks with Ukraine and the United States planned for Abu Dhabi. However, Finnish President Alexander Stubb disagreed, saying that European countries would be involved in the November Abu Dhabi talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Wednesday that trilateral talks with Russia and the United States would take place in the UAE from November 6 to 10, expressing hope for European participation as well.
