NATO and European Union representatives, including the E4 group of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy, will attend talks in Abu Dhabi from November 10-11 to address Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, according to Ukrainian delegation chief Rustem Umerov. The European Commission and European Council will also be represented, with key officials such as British Chief of Staff Geoffrey van Leeuwen and European Commission National Security Adviser Björn Seibert participating at the highest levels.

Ukrainian officials emphasized the importance of maintaining close coordination with European partners to ensure a unified stance on the negotiation process. Ukrainian delegation chief Rustem Umerov stressed the need for a lasting and sustainable peace, secure for Ukraine and its postwar recovery. However, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed that trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States would take place, excluding European participation.
