MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. The Europeans’ presence in Abu Dhabi is nothing more than a publicity stunt and an attempt to provide media support for Kiev, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in an interview with Vesti.

No one actually understands "what the Europeans are going to do in Abu Dhabi or why they are flying there," she noted, since "the trilateral format of the talks does not allow for anyone’s participation other than Russia, Ukraine and US representatives."

"Why are they doing this? Probably to provide some sort of media and political support for the Kiev regime," Zakharova said. "Apparently, this is some kind of publicity stunt," the diplomat added.
