Paris and Europe will have a seat at the table in next week’s U.S.-brokered peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on Sunday.  France “will be around the table,” Barrot told French radio RTL. “The Europeans will be well represented and France will be in Abu Dhabi to participate in these discussions. I cannot yet tell you who will represent France on this occasion, but it will certainly be there.”  U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff announced last Monday there would be trilateral talks between Washington, Kyiv and Moscow on Nov. 10–11, the first since a summit in February. But the extent to which Europe will take part in the talks remains unclear.  “In recent weeks, Europeans have made their voices heard, expressing to the American mediator that no discussion concerning the future of the continent can disregard our expectations and demands,” Barrot told RTL. European Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho said Friday the EU executive didn’t yet have details to share, but added that “it’s obviously up to the European Union to decide on matters which affect its security and on matters which are of its competence.” The EU has scrambled to agree on who should represent it at the peace talks and who, if anyone, should be in contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni urged European Council President António Costa to settle the issue in a letter this week, prompting Costa to put it on the agenda of the Nov. 13 leaders’ summit. Meloni’s letter was partly prompted by a phone call Finland’s Alexander Stubb and Norway’s Jonas Gahr Støre made to Putin on Oct. 27, which took some European leaders by surprise. Meanwhile, the European Commission hosted talks on Ukraine’s reconstruction on Wednesday, bringing together representatives from Ukraine, the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, NATO and the World Bank. U.S. President Donald Trump spoke late Thursday of a “big, beautiful agreement,” after meeting with Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev, adding: “It’s going to involve more than Ukraine, and I could even say it might involve all of Europe.” The plan has brought anxiety among EU officials, who fear it risks sidelining the continent and emboldening Putin. “We already have a European security architecture in place — NATO and European Union both have their respective roles,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Friday in response to the U.S. plan. “We must make sure Ukraine is integrated into this architecture. The problem remains that Russia keeps breaking the treaties that underpin it … Putin does not have a veto over European security.”

Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power grid on Saturday left more than 600,000 without electricity in the Dnipropetrovsk region in southeast Ukraine, electricity provider DTEK said on social media. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday morning denounced “an overnight attack on the Dnipro region” that left energy infrastructure damages,  also pointing out wider attacks across the country. “There are widespread power outages across the country … Repair work is underway in virtually every affected city and community.” “Power company workers are already working to restore electricity. Their efforts are being hampered by constant Russian shelling,” said the region’s governor Oleksandr Hanzha, adding that hospitals and critical infrastructure are now relying on generators for power.  The blackout follows shelling in the region on Nov. 3 that damaged infrastructure in a key industrial region bordering active combat areas, and a wider attack the same day across Ukraine targeting energy facilities. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant also lost power overnight, with the International Atomic Energy Agency saying on Sunday morning it is now relying “on emergency diesel generators for reactor cooling and other essential nuclear safety and security functions.” The attack comes as Kyiv and Moscow gear up for another round of US-brokered peace talks in Abu Dhabi next week. Following the new wave of attacks on Saturday night Zelenskyy called on international partners to ramp up sanctions on Russia to hamper its capability to acquire or build more missiles. “It is very important that they be synchronized across Europe and G7 jurisdictions. If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic capabilities to protect Ukrainian skies, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines,” he said.
