Talks on the conflict in Ukraine have begun in Abu Dhabi, raising questions of European security.
The negotiations on Ukraine "increasingly affect the security of the entire continent. Many elements of an overall agreement depend on European decisions: security guarantees, reconstruction, sanctions and Ukraine's European path. For this reason, Europe must speak with one voice and equip itself with a clear and shared mandate".
Thus sources at Palazzo Chigi after the start of the talks in Abu Dhabi.
This is, the same sources explain, what Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni asked for in the letter addressed to President Antonio Costa: to discuss the topic at the informal European Council in Dublin, to arrive at a decision at the European Council in December.
Palazzo Chigi welcomes Costa's willingness to follow up on the request and take the matter forward.
