European leaders agreed to form a negotiation group for Ukraine peace talks, consisting of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Poland, alongside EU representatives. They emphasized that any security issues affecting Europe must involve European voices. The decision follows concerns about US and Russian negotiations potentially sidelining European interests. Leaders stressed the importance of a unified European stance and rejected any discussions on European security architecture without direct involvement from Europe. Russia expressed openness to European participation in peace talks, provided they genuinely aim for peace. Discussions should focus solely on the Ukraine conflict, not on revising security frameworks.
