US envoys push to involve European allies in Ukraine peace negotiations following high-level discussions in Moscow and Dublin.

United States envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have emphasized the necessity of including European nations in ongoing peace talks to end the war in Ukraine. Following discussions in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the envoys traveled to Dublin to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on their preliminary trilateral exchanges held in Abu Dhabi.

Kushner stated that Moscow showed openness to involving European representatives in future negotiations. Zelenskyy remarked that current diplomatic efforts present a distinct opportunity for progress. The shuttle diplomacy campaign underscores accelerated efforts between Washington, Kyiv, and Moscow to construct a broader negotiation framework.
