Will Europe get a seat at the Ukraine peace talks?

Ukraine peace talks have run through Abu Dhabi, and the fight over a seat for Europe matters because of what Bild reports. Bild says Russia's demands include taking Finland out of NATO and splitting Moldova into three republics. That list is Bild's account, with no document confirming it, and the Kremlin has denied the Finland part.

In Dublin, Jared Kushner wrote that Russia and Ukraine agreed to widen the next round. Russia's Foreign Ministry says the topic was never discussed. Medvedev says Europe is still not invited, and Kaja Kallas, who demanded a seat, has warned that discussing Moscow's demands plays into its hands.

The next deciding moment is a Trump-Putin meeting expected in Shenzhen, later in November. Who speaks for the EU, and with what mandate, stays open until leaders meet in Brussels in about two weeks.
