Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has mocked European countries over their presence in Abu Dhabi during the latest Russia-US-Ukraine trilateral talks, jokingly asking whether their planes should be shot down. Lavrov said Moscow would not prevent Washington from holding separate meetings with European representatives but questioned whether such consultations would help the negotiations. The remarks come amid growing European concerns about being sidelined from efforts to end the Ukraine war, as US, Russian and Ukrainian delegations meet in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11.
