The EU has yet to decide on a representative for peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, causing disagreements among member states. Pressure has increased following requests from the US and Ukraine for the EU to appoint someone for upcoming talks. Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal suggested two candidates: European Council President Antonio Costa and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. However, there is no consensus, as some governments fear these candidates may be unacceptable to Russia. Michal argued that representatives should be accountable to Europe, not to Putin. Other potential candidates include Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. The difficulty in appointing a representative highlights the differing opinions among EU states.
