Europe unites for Russia-Ukraine peace talks as Moscow car bomb wounds Ukrainian aide
dw.com —
Five European nations and the EU will jointly represent Europe in potential Russia-Ukraine peace talks, announced Friday at a Dublin summit. Russia has not confirmed its agreement to this format. European Council President Antonio Costa said Europe must speak with "one clear voice" in negotiations. US envoy Jared Kushner stated Putin is willing to try including Europeans, but Russia's Foreign Ministry contradicted this, saying the issue was not discussed during recent Moscow meetings. The EU has not yet chosen a single representative, with foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Costa as leading candidates. Meanwhile, a second car bomb in two days exploded in Moscow, wounding an exiled Ukrainian political aide.
