- The US and Russia both left the Open Skies Treaty.

## Summary

European countries are willing to discuss restoring military conflict-prevention arrangements with Russia, including limits on some missile deployments and the Open Skies Treaty. They say Europe needs a role in negotiations to support Ukraine and ensure decisions about European security are not made without it.

European diplomats doubt current Russia-Ukraine-US talks in Abu Dhabi will achieve a breakthrough. The Financial Times reports that the Trump administration is trying to persuade Moscow to include European countries in the discussions. The Open Skies Treaty, signed by more than 30 countries, allowed observation flights to monitor military activity; the US withdrew in 2020 and Russia followed in 2021.
