European leaders have agreed that the European Union will attend future peace talks aimed at ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the UK jointly representing the bloc. US envoy Jared Kushner stated that the United States cannot conclude a deal without the Europeans at the table, and Putin has reportedly expressed willingness to participate in the talks.
However, there remains uncertainty over who should represent the EU in these negotiations, with EU Foreign Affairs Chief Kaja Kallas asserting her role as the primary EU representative in foreign and security policy.
