LONDON, November 13. /TASS/. EU leaders at Friday's summit in Dublin agreed on a delegation for expert-level talks with Russia that will include representatives of the European Commission, the EU Council, Germany, France, Italy, and Poland, as well as non-EU member United Kingdom, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported, citing a European source.

The negotiating team will be the same one that flew to Abu Dhabi this week.

Russia, the United States and Ukraine held talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky led the Russian delegation, while Foreign Intelligence Service chief Rustem Umerov headed the Ukrainian delegation. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe Alexus Grynkewich and UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan were also present at the negotiating table when the talks began. Despite statements from French officials, no Europeans attended the meeting.

Kremlin Aide Yury Ushakov said European representatives consulted with the Ukrainian and US sides on the sidelines of the talks. He noted that discussions on whether Russia might meet with the Europeans and what form such a meeting might take would be based on the outcome of the Abu Dhabi talks.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova pointed out that the Europeans had exposed themselves by holding Coalition of the Willing exercises to rehearse the deployment of foreign military contingents to Ukraine just before the Abu Dhabi talks. She stressed that while the Europeans talk about peace, negotiations and their place at the negotiating table, they are doing exactly the opposite by sustaining, funding and arming the terrorist Kiev regime.
