US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has announced that European representatives will join the upcoming round of peace negotiations concerning the war in Ukraine. The statement was made at Moscow's Vnukovo airport following meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Witkoff emphasized that European nations remain vital partners for Washington, making their direct involvement in the process essential.
Following the Moscow visit, the US diplomatic delegation is scheduled to travel to Dublin. In the Irish capital, envoys plan to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to brief him on the outcome of the discussions in Moscow and to discuss potential paths toward resolving the conflict.
Negotiation Context and European Involvement
The Moscow meetings followed two days of talks in Abu Dhabi between representatives of Ukraine, the United States, and Russia. During those discussions, delegates from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, NATO, and the European Union conducted separate consultations with US officials rather than joining the direct trilateral talks with Russia.
Earlier, US envoy Jared Kushner noted that Europe needs to select a single representative to speak on its behalf during the diplomatic process. Meanwhile, Russian officials indicated that European actions must become less contradictory for negotiation progress to occur.
