Europe is set to participate in further talks regarding Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the U.S. proposal to address security issues concerning Russia and Ukraine in a broader European context. Following discussions with U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow, it was announced that European representatives would participate in future talks. Witkoff and Kushner plan to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin about their meeting with Putin and the outcomes of previous discussions in Abu Dhabi. Uszakow, a Kremlin advisor, described the talks as fruitful and reiterated Russia's stance against NATO's expansion. Putin emphasized that foreign military presence in Ukraine is unacceptable for Russia, while France and the UK expressed readiness to establish a multinational peacekeeping force in Ukraine. Putin also rejected any ceasefire along the current front lines, insisting on recognition of Russia's claims to occupied Ukrainian territories.
