Russia demands Finland leave Nato in Ukraine peace talks, Bild reports
Russian officials continue to claim that Western countries promised not to expand Nato eastwards.
DUBLIN — The European Union summit in Dublin has taken an unexpected turn as Ukraine's conflict continues to dominate proceedings. While the event was initially focused on discussing artificial intelligence, the ongoing war in Ukraine has overshadowed many of the planned talks. The EU is currently divided over which member state should represent the bloc in potential peace negotiations, creating a significant hurdle in addressing the conflict.
Just weeks ago, officials from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States met in Abu Dhabi, but European leaders have since pushed for their involvement to be more prominent. The summit, held over two days in the Irish capital, has included meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and discussions between U.S. envoy Donald Trump and Putin.
The AI discussions are also underway, alongside other topics such as the race for the European Central Bank presidency and debates surrounding the EU's next seven-year budget.
