The delegation will include security advisers from the EU and five leading countries.
At the upcoming peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, which will be led by the United States, Europe will be represented by national security advisers from the European Union and five leading European countries—Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Poland. A senior European official told Bloomberg about this. The decision was made following two days of meetings in Dublin, during which European countries demonstrated their support for Kyiv.
Ahead of these summits, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on European leaders to appoint their envoys to resume peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv. He stated that Russia had become more open to the participation of a European delegation in the discussions. However, European leaders had long been unable to resolve the issue of appointing a representative who would defend the continent’s interests in such negotiations.
According to an official who wished to remain anonymous, advisers will participate in all upcoming negotiations at the technical level. At the same time, Europe has not yet appointed a representative at the political leadership level—as a European Commission spokesperson explained, heads of state will address this issue at their next press conference.
On Friday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is ready for negotiations with European representatives if Europe has selected an authorized representative and is willing to engage with Moscow. According to Peskov, President Vladimir Putin has never refused to engage in dialogue with Europeans and has not been the one to initiate a breakdown in relations.
