Kushner urges European inclusion in Ukraine peace talks

US special envoy Jared Kushner said European countries must be included in Ukraine peace negotiations. He told Politico that US officials will travel to Moscow on November 12 to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin for his "blessing" on European participation. Kushner stated that European representatives need to be at the negotiating table, saying the US has directly conveyed to Putin that European involvement is the only way to achieve results. He will travel to Moscow with colleague Steve Witkoff, then proceed to Dublin for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and possibly European representatives. The announcement follows November 10-11 negotiations in Abu Dhabi between Russian, US, and Ukrainian delegations. Russian delegation head Vladimir Medinsky said the main topic was the future European security system.
