EU to send joint team to Abu Dhabi Ukraine‑Russia peace talks
Ukraine's delegation for the November 10-11 peace talks in Abu Dhabi has been finalized. Rustem Umerov will lead, alongside Kyrylo Budanov, Davyd Arakhamia, Serhii Kyslytsia and Vadym Skibitskyi. Talks will include the US and Russia. #Ukraine
Budanov won’t take any bull💩. 💕him.
Umerov and Budanov leading tells you Kyiv isnt sending diplomats to beg. Intel and defense industry in the room, and Medinsky across the table. Talks are worth the paper only if pressure on Moscow holds while they sit.
In range of iranian drones?
Imagine Budanov staring down at the US delegation. After a few minutes they have surrendered all of US Military to Ukraine.
And 99,99% that russia will delegate their propaganda minsiter Medinsky :P
I hope they’re all playing it safe and not using the same travel itinerary!
G7 ministers to press Rubio on Iran and Ukraine at Paris talks
Don’t even bother . He’s a patsy
I love how Rubio has been living in the Trump slime heap for a decade & thinks he'll be able to wash that Trump stink off of him, ever, for the rest of his life
He’s slippery. Progress will not be made in talks about Ukraine or Iran. Frankly, it’s a waste of time.
Press him to lay off poor Cuba!
Anyone in the US administration is corrupted beyond saving Obviously treacherous Treasonous to their own nation Good luck with that.
Rubio is just another Asshole from Florida
🇫🇷 France’s foreign minister Barrot said that Europeans will take part in the peace talks in Abu Dhabi on 10–11 November with the participation of Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. France will be there.
Well, a couple of comments suggesting that “peace talks” will be nothing but theatre. I agree. The only just resolution to this conflict will be a complete withdrawal of Russia from Ukraine and a massive payment of reparations to Ukraine. 1/2
As everyone with a room-temperature IQ knows, these will not be anything resembling 'peace talks;' they'll be *theater.* There are no serious 'negotiations' about *anything* if Trump and Putin are involved. So let's call them what they are: *theater.*
France showing up is better than the empty chair routine. But having a seat at the table gives you no real power. If Paris walks in without a position on withdrawal and accountability, Abu Dhabi is a photo op with better lighting.
The biggest story this morning is Trump continuing to pretty much admit he's rootin' for Putin. Presidementia actually saying we will see "a different shape Ukraine" - how can his country be seen as an independent chair of "peace talks" which started tomorrow in Abu Dhabi?
Every night, every day is difficult. More, and longer, power cuts for Ukrainians. Last night in the🧵 I reported on strikes in Odesa, Kryvyi Rih, Kremenchuk and Khmelnytskyi. Also Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, Rivne (pic) and Kharkiv regions were hit.
How can the Russian agent Krasnov be considered an independent party? He cannot and is not.
disgusting unless 🇷🇺 soil is used as a no mans land and 🇺🇦 gets its land back to 1991 with zero 🇷🇺 occupation. The aggressor cannot be rewarded & must pay damages & reparations.
Trump, “time for Ukraine to get a new president.” When asked if Russia needs one, too, he changed the subject. Also Trump: Zelensky is “not a good guy for us to deal with” and “more difficult” than Putin. War criminals, autocrats, and the uber-wealthy are who duplicitous Donald admires.
The chair is the problem. "Different shape Ukraine" is a territorial formula dressed as diplomacy, and no honest broker prices the carve-up before the talks open. Day 1720 and counting, thanks for logging every one.
The European Commission and the European Council will send a joint team to the trilateral peace talks in Abu Dhabi hosted by the United States. The possibility of speaking directly with the Russians remains on the table, but it's TBC. Full story.
European Commission on Kushner's proposal: "Any European security framework is up to the European Union to decide, because it's a matter of its competence and it's a matter affecting the EU's security. So, hence, in such discussions, the EU needs to be present."
NATO will be represented in Abu Dhabi by the Chief of Staff, Geoffrey Van Leeuwen, NATO official tells @shonamurray.bsky.social
The European Union will send representatives from the Commission and Council to Ukraine peace talks kicking off this week in Abu Dhabi, according to two EU officials.
However.. The Kremlin has now said that the "Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi will take place without Europeans, with the US acting as mediator".
📍L'Union européenne enverra des représentants de la Commission et du Conseil aux pourparlers de paix en Ukraine qui débutent cette semaine à Abou Dhabi, selon deux responsables de l'UE.

Well done, captain obvious 🤦
Who woulda thought that... 😐
total waste of time, effort, money & spit, all better spent on Patriot receptors
Well, if he started a war then that’s what he wants, not peace. But should he change his mind now he can always withdraw his troops from Ukrainian territory. Until he does, he doesn’t want peace. Does that make sense?
Dunno whether to laugh or cry.
🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺”Moscow welcomes the US proposal to put collective security and security guarantees for Russia and Ukraine at the forefront of the Abu Dhabi peace talks.” 🤡- Sergey Lavrov Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation
Since when does the aggressor need security guarantees? Is this a joke? I’m not amused
Ukraine had security guaranties from the US and the Orcs, when the latter invaded. They are utterly worthless. The only security guarantee that works is having nuclear weapons.
Sergey Lavrov, living a well paid privileged life in return for lying everytime he opens his mouth.
The US regime is working in lockstep with Putin and Russia.
