Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with American special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Vitkoff in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, on Thursday, November 12. This meeting took place while Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to the presence of European representatives in the next round of peace talks in Ukraine.
According to Reuters, Steve Witkoff said Putin's agreement involving European representatives could be an important step in the negotiations. However, Putin stressed that Washington should talk to its European allies to determine whether they want peace in Ukraine or the continuation of the war.
After two days of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi, Zelensky expressed his concern about the new restrictions on American-made satellite communications used by Ukrainian forces on the battlefield. He also described Washington's approach in talking with Russia about the new European security order as "a bit strange".
