Vladimir Putin has agreed to European representatives participating in the next peace talks regarding Ukraine, emphasizing the need for collaboration with the U.S. to clarify Europe's stance on peace or war. The inclusion of Europe could be pivotal, yet significant differences remain between Moscow and European capitals on resolving the conflict. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff highlighted the importance of European involvement, while Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed optimism about negotiations, despite tensions with Washington over military support limitations. Putin reiterated Russia's openness to dialogue but warned against Western troop deployments in Ukraine post-agreement, viewing it as a security threat. However, a Kremlin advisor did not confirm European participation in the talks, criticizing Europe's stance as a path to endless war.
