Merz Says Five European Countries Could Represent Europe in Ukraine Peace Talks with Russia
The bloc will be represented by the EU and five allied governments as leaders seek a unified voice in talks with Moscow and Kyiv.
- On Friday, the European Union announced it will send a diplomatic team to Ukraine peace talks, including representatives from the EU and five members of the "coalition of the willing": the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Poland.
- European leaders distrust U.S. President Donald Trump to negotiate on their behalf after tense standoffs over trade and Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron warned Thursday that "without Europeans, there is no support for Ukraine."
- While governments from the U.K. to Ukraine agree Europe must participate in negotiations, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warned that lacking a "united European voice" encourages uncoordinated diplomacy that undermines collective interests.
- U.S. envoy Jared Kushner and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Europe would join the next round of talks, with Kushner stating, "We cannot conclude this deal without the Europeans being at the table."
- Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin urged a final decision on representation within the next two weeks, as Ukraine seeks to prevent talks from remaining solely in the hands of a U.S. administration perceived to lean toward Moscow.
