France: Europe will be "well represented" in Abu Dhabi peace talks

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on Sunday that Europe will be well represented when the US leads trilateral talks with Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi on 10-11 November, though he could not yet say who would attend for France. EU governments have themselves disputed who should represent the bloc, prompting Italy's prime minister to ask the European Council president to settle it before the EU leaders' summit on 13 November.
