US negotiators signal European inclusion in Ukraine peace talks
US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff announced that European nations will participate in upcoming Ukraine peace negotiations following meetings in Moscow and Dublin.
United States envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff announced that European nations will be included in upcoming negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Following diplomatic talks in Moscow and Dublin, the American representatives stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to widen the scope of discussions. This expansion allows European post-war security arrangements to be addressed alongside core territorial disputes.
US negotiators urged European leaders to appoint a single diplomatic representative for the upcoming sessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the development, noting that European nations will now hold a direct voice in the process. Despite remaining differences between Kyiv and Moscow, envoys also reported progress toward a potential major prisoner exchange.
