Russia and Ukraine envoys to talk ceasefire monitoring and territory
- On Thursday, U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff secured a breakthrough in Moscow, with Russian President Vladimir Putin agreeing to allow European representatives at future peace talks with Ukraine.
- Russia previously insisted on a strict trilateral format excluding European officials, while the European Union struggled to reach consensus on who should represent the bloc in negotiations.
- European leaders at the European Political Community summit in Dublin, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, welcomed the shift toward participation, though significant differences with Russia on security architecture remain.
- Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal insisted the bloc has already selected representatives—European Council President António Costa and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas—to present a unified voice.
- The Kremlin has not yet officially confirmed European participation, and Moscow maintains hardline territorial demands that complicate the path toward a lasting settlement between the warring sides.
