US envoys advocate European involvement in Ukraine peace talks following Moscow and Dublin visits

United States special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have proposed including European nations in future peace negotiations to resolve the war in Ukraine. The proposal followed discussions in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin and subsequent consultations in Dublin with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Kushner indicated that Moscow appeared receptive to broadening the negotiation framework to include European partners. The diplomatic push comes after trilateral talks held in Abu Dhabi aimed at establishing a foundation for potential settlement discussions. Zelenskyy voiced optimism regarding the current diplomatic momentum, describing a potential window of opportunity for progress. The delegation's travel between Moscow and Dublin marks a key phase in ongoing shuttle diplomacy efforts involving Washington, Kyiv, and Moscow.
