US envoys call for single European representative in Ukraine peace talks

United States envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have announced plans to include European nations in upcoming peace negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine. Following diplomatic discussions in Moscow and Dublin, Kushner urged European governments to appoint a single delegate to represent the continent during future talks.

According to US representatives, Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted expanding the scope of negotiations to address post-war European security arrangements alongside territorial concerns. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the development, asserting that European partners must have a direct voice in shaping final agreements. While substantial diplomatic gaps between Kyiv and Moscow persist, envoys indicated that progress is being made toward negotiating a major prisoner swap.
