  "account": "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the recent trilateral talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine as \"very productive\" on Tuesday (Nov 11), while advocating for Europe to be included in future discussions. Rubio made his remarks after attending the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris, where European counterparts stressed the importance of direct involvement in the talks. European officials are currently in Abu Dhabi for the talks, but the formal discussions involve only Russia, Ukraine, and the US. Rubio assured that Europe's participation would eventually be part of the talks, highlighting the presence of European officials in Abu Dhabi and repeatedly emphasizing the need to expand the talks beyond a trilateral format. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul acknowledged that European officials' participation in the Abu Dhabi talks was only on the sidelines but expressed confidence that European participation could be achieved in the future. He stressed that the talks serve as a litmus test for Russia's seriousness about negotiations and that Europe's presence is essential, particularly regarding Ukraine's EU membership and potential sanctions easing on Russia.",
  "summary": "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said European partners should be included in trilateral talks between the US, Russia and Ukraine, saying they are \"part of solving this problem for the long term.\"",
