US envoys urge European participation in Ukraine peace process following Moscow talks

American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have called for European representation in forthcoming negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, following talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian leaders in Dublin.

According to US negotiators, President Putin expressed willingness to allow European parties to join the diplomatic effort. However, Moscow maintained its strict territorial stance during discussions, with Putin insisting that any final settlement must respect Russia's constitutional borders, which include Crimea and four partially occupied Ukrainian regions.

Following the talks, Kushner urged European governments to appoint a unified lead negotiator to participate in the expanding multilateral framework.
