Senior Kremlin official Dmitry Peskov called the European Union's position unconstructive due to the delay in the appointment of a negotiator on Ukraine. According to him, Moscow would welcome the appearance of a European special representative on the condition that he is sincerely interested in achieving peace, Izvestia writes. According to Politico, the European Union is considering the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Council Antonio Costa, the head of European diplomacy Kaia Kalas and the president of Finland Alexander Staab for this position.
