Europe sends five-nation advisor team to Ukraine-Russia talks

The European Union has finalized its delegation for Ukraine war negotiations, comprising security advisors from five nations and EU representatives, as announced by European Council President Antonio Costa on November 13. The delegation includes advisors from Britain, Germany, Italy, Poland, and France, part of the "coalition of the willing," plus one or more EU institutional representatives. US envoy Jared Kushner confirmed Ukraine and US support for European participation, with President Zelensky stressing Europe will have its own voice. Moscow has not yet responded to the European participation proposal. The EU has not decided whether to send one or multiple representatives, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni advocating for a single voice, citing fragmented contacts like Finland and Norway's October 27 call with Putin.
