Europe appointed national security advisers to participate in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, -. Bloomberg.
The European Union, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and Poland will send national security advisers to the upcoming negotiations to resolve the war in Ukraine.
The decision was made following meetings of European leaders on November 12 and 13 in Dublin, where one of the main topics was support for Ukraine.
"Europe must speak with one clear and united voice in all discussions that determine the future of Ukraine and our continent. Ultimately, this is a team effort," said European Council President Antonio Costa.
Advisers will be involved in future talks at a technical level, a senior European official said. However, Europe has not yet identified representatives to attend the summit meetings.
Vladimir Zelensky previously called on European leaders to appoint special representatives to participate in the US-led peace talks. According to him, Russia has become more open to the presence of Europe at the negotiating table.
The next round of negotiations is expected before the G20 summit, which will be held on December 14-15 in the United States. Before that, meetings of the "coalition of the will" and the APEC summit in China are planned, where US President Donald Trump may meet with Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
