US envoys push for greater European participation in next round of Ukraine war peace talks, Moscow yet to confirm

Washington, Nov 13 (UNI) US special envoy Jared Kushner has said Russia and Ukraine have agreed in principle to include European representatives in the next round of negotiations aimed at ending the war, although Moscow has yet to formally confirm its position.
Kushner made the announcement after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ireland alongside fellow US envoy Steve Witkoff, following their visit to the Kremlin for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The envoys met Zelensky at a military base near Dublin on Thursday, where the three addressed reporters. The main development announced was the proposed expansion of future negotiations to include European partners, while no concrete progress was reported on a ceasefire or ending the fighting.
Zelensky welcomed the prospect of European participation, saying the continent would have a “voice” in future discussions rather than being kept separate from the negotiations, as happened during the recent trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US in Abu Dhabi.
“This is important for us because the war is in Europe. We will be member of EU in the future and that's why it's very important. For prosperity and for security guarantees it's very important to have Europe,” he said.
In a post on X, Kushner wrote: “Both sides have now agreed to expand the next round of negotiations to include our European partners.”
He said the move would allow discussions on broader post-war European security arrangements alongside territorial disputes between Moscow and Kyiv.
However, the Kremlin has not explicitly confirmed the arrangement. Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said European governments were seeking to join the negotiations but needed to decide whether they wanted peace or continued conflict.
The remarks followed talks between Putin and the US envoys in Moscow earlier this week. During the meeting, the Russian president reiterated Moscow's territorial demands and rejected the prospect of foreign peacekeeping troops being deployed in Ukraine, highlighting the continuing differences between the sides.
