European officials are scheduled to join Thursday evening discussions in Dublin between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, according to a European diplomatic source.
Delegations from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are expected to attend, alongside potential representatives from other nations. Advisers and senior diplomats are anticipated to represent their countries at the Ireland-based meeting.
The engagement marks a renewed US push to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. Washington has reportedly urged Moscow to allow European representatives to participate in the next round of negotiations.
Kushner and Witkoff are set to meet Zelensky on the sidelines of a European summit, following their recent talks with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. During the Russian discussions, Putin indicated that Moscow would not compromise on its hard-line demands to conclude the conflict.
Representatives from Britain, France, Germany, and Italy attended preparatory discussions in Abu Dhabi earlier this week, though they did not meet directly with Russian officials during that visit.
