The nomination will be discussed in Dublin.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has declined to represent Europe in negotiations with Russia regarding an end to the war in Ukraine.

According to the Danish television channel DR, the prime minister did not say who, in her opinion, should represent Europe in negotiations with the Kremlin.

“We will discuss this tonight, as well as later in Dublin,” the prime minister replied.

When asked by journalists whether she herself would like to become Europe’s representative, Frederiksen replied in the negative.

“No. I hope to be part of Europe’s voice. But our institutions must be at the center of our work,” she said.

In addition, according to Bloomberg, European officials are in Abu Dhabi, where trilateral talks are taking place between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia, but they will join the talks only if significant progress is made.

At the same time, Europe insists that the Kremlin must first end the war before discussing the continent’s security architecture.

Talks in Abu Dhabi

November 10, 2026 a new round of trilateral talks between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia on ending the war began in Abu Dhabi (UAE). The first day of the meeting lasted about 4.5 hours. Representatives of the Ukrainian and Russian delegations participated in the talks, as well as U.S. presidential special representatives Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner. Prior to the trilateral meeting, the Ukrainian side held consultations with representatives from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO, and the European Commission.

Key issues included a ceasefire, security guarantees for Ukraine, and humanitarian matters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the parties are discussing the possibility of a large-scale prisoner exchange based on a “1,000 for 1,000” or “1,500 for 1,500” formula. According to him, the Russian delegation also raised the territorial issue.

The negotiations are scheduled to resume on November 11.
