“I don’t want to represent Europe”: Frederiksen answered questions about negotiations with the Kremlin

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen does not want to personally represent Europe in negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. At the same time, she hopes to participate in forming a common position of European countries.

This is reported by the Danish TV channel DR.

Journalists asked Frederiksen who she thought should represent Europe in negotiations with the Kremlin. However, the prime minister did not name specific candidates and replied: “We will discuss this tonight and also later in Dublin.”

Asked whether she was ready to take on the role of Europe’s representative herself, Frederiksen said: “No. I hope to be part of Europe’s voice. But our institutions should be at the center of our work.”

Meanwhile, European officials are in Abu Dhabi, where trilateral talks between Ukraine, the United States and Russia are underway. According to Bloomberg, they may join the meetings only if significant progress is made.

At the same time, European countries insist that Russia must first end the war against Ukraine. Only then, according to their position, can we move on to discussing Europe’s security architecture.

Recall that on Wednesday, November 11, the second day of trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia began in Abu Dhabi.

As is known, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia in Abu Dhabi productive, but warned against expecting a quick peace agreement.
