The EU does not have an official Russia negotiator, and there have been no serious discussions about appointing one in recent months, a diplomatic source in Brussels told TASS. "There have been no consultations in recent months on a candidate for European negotiations with Russia on Ukraine," the source said, adding that "there is no agreement among the EU countries regarding the feasibility of negotiations with Russia," which is why they have not yet "discussed a possible mandate for these negotiations." Therefore, according to the source, "it is too early to discuss the candidate."
