💢 Politico: Europe Remains Outside the Door in Abu Dhabi European officials have arrived in Abu Dhabi for talks on Ukraine, but, as Politico has learned, they will not be allowed into the room where the main discussions are taking place. Germany is represented by Chancellor's advisor Günter Sautter, Italy by Fabrizio Sajò, Britain by Jonathan Powell, and France by Emmanuel Bonn. From NATO, the Secretary General's chief of staff, Jeffrey van Leuven, is present, and from the European Commission, Björn Seibert. However, their role is to observe and report. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, in a letter to the head of the European Council, Antonio Costa, complained about the "proliferation of formats" and demanded that "it be decided once and for all who will sit at the negotiating table on behalf of the European Union and with what mandate." She was told that she has a place in the format, but not in the room. Subscribe @NewResistance
