Kallas and Costa represent EU on security matters; who represents EU in talks with Russia and Ukraine - of no concern for Russians
High Representative of the European Union Kaja Kallas has stated that, in accordance with established agreements, she and European Council President António Costa represent Europe on matters of security architecture; as for who will represent the EU in negotiations with Russia and Ukraine, that is not a matter that should concern the Russians.
U.S. diplomats met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow before traveling to Dublin to discuss peace efforts with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, had previously brokered a prisoner exchange in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, but the talks did not result in any major breakthrough.
The negotiations aim to find a solution to the five-year-long conflict and align on security arrangements for Europe. While the U.S. and Zelenskyy want Europe to appoint a single negotiator for Russia, Russia opposes this, claiming that European countries finance and supply Ukraine's military.
