European representatives could join the diplomatic negotiations in Abu Dhabi involving Russia, the United States and Ukraine, but their participation will depend on the outcome of the initial discussions, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the plans.

According to the agency, European officials are likely to be present in Abu Dhabi during the trilateral meeting. However, they are expected to take part in the negotiations only if Moscow, Washington and Kiev make sufficient progress toward an agreement.

This arrangement would allow European countries to become directly involved in the diplomatic process if the initial round of talks produces meaningful results.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot later confirmed that European nations, including France, would be represented in Abu Dhabi during the discussions involving Russia, the United States and Ukraine.

Barrot said the European side would have substantial representation and confirmed that France intended to send representatives to the UAE capital to participate in the diplomatic discussions.

However, the French foreign minister did not identify the officials who would represent European countries at the meeting.

The trilateral negotiations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine are scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11.
