What happened

European leaders at a summit in Dublin are pushing to secure a seat in Ukraine peace talks after US envoys said Europeans will join the next round with Russia.

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who met Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier, made the pledge, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed it, according to the BBC.

Zelensky said the move would give the EU a "voice" in the negotiations.

The EU has not yet agreed whom to send; EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Council President Antonio Costa are seen as the likeliest candidates, DW reports.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote to Costa last week, saying a Europe in disarray serves those who want the war to go on.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, who met Zelensky in Dublin, said Europe should appoint a representative for talks with Russia, according to Radio Prague.

Russia and Ukraine also agreed on a new prisoner swap, the largest since the full-scale invasion, though Kushner gave no figures or date.

“By projecting the image of a Europe that is in disarray, we are merely serving the interests of those who want this war to continue”
