The EU is ready to continue supporting Ukraine.

Europe has no intention of withdrawing its support for Ukraine, despite the resumption of talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. in Abu Dhabi. The G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris sent a signal to Moscow that diplomatic contacts with the Kremlin do not mean a weakening of Europe’s resolve to help Kyiv, writes France 24.

“Europe isn’t going anywhere,” says Atlantic Council expert James Townsend. The Paris meeting took place on November 9–10, in parallel with trilateral talks in the UAE. The main concern for European countries is to prevent agreements between Washington and Moscow from being reached without taking into account Ukraine’s interests and European security.

Before the start of the talks in Abu Dhabi, representatives of the European Union, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, the United States, and NATO separately agreed on approaches to future security guarantees. They stated that any agreements must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, its territorial integrity, and its right to determine its own future. A strong NATO was also cited as a crucial part of the European defense system.

Meanwhile, in Abu Dhabi, humanitarian issues, prisoner exchanges, and long-term security guarantees were discussed. However, Moscow and Kyiv’s positions on the terms for ending the war remain at odds.

Townsend called the G7’s final communiqué a test of what joint commitments regarding Ukraine U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is willing to agree to. “This will be a test of what Marco Rubio is willing to sign off on,” the expert said.

Paris and Abu Dhabi have become two venues for a single diplomatic process: in the first, Europe is coordinating a common position; in the second, the U.S. is trying to reach an agreement with Moscow and Kyiv.
