Kremlin says European countries are not part of the next Ukraine talks

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Europe will not join the next round of talks with Ukraine and the US in Abu Dhabi. He said it was not discussed in Tuesday's 90-minute call among Putin, Finland's president and Norway's prime minister.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb gave a different account, telling the Nordic Council that European countries would take part in the November talks.
