As the US restarts talks between Russia and Ukraine, European leaders say Europe should have a seat at the table but cannot agree who should represent it. More than 50 leaders in Dublin for the European Political Community summit will meet Ukrainian president Zelenskiy; European representation is a central agenda item. Zelenskiy and US officials have urged Europe to name a representative to boost the new round’s credibility. The talks include US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner meeting Russian president Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday. European leaders reported no substantive progress: most avoided direct answers, with proposals ranging from EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas or European Council President António Costa by diplomatic precedence to a multi-representative approach.
