Europe wants to have a say in the negotiations on Ukraine

Diplomatic efforts continue to try to end the war in Ukraine. After two days of talks in Abu Dhabi, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow before traveling to Dublin to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky. On the sidelines of the European Political Community summit, European leaders are demanding a seat at the negotiating table and want to appoint a joint representative. Washington has mentioned possible European participation, but Moscow remains reluctant and is conditioning this on the cessation of Western military support for Kyiv.
