Mitsotakis in Dublin: No Ukraine peace deal without Europe

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated from Dublin that no peace agreement for Ukraine is possible without European participation, as two consecutive summits focus on who will represent Europe in negotiations with Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron echoed this position, urging Europe to take initiative in dialogue with Russia and stressing the need for a common European vision before deciding who speaks with Vladimir Putin. Mitsotakis proposed European institutions, supported by key member states, should represent the bloc, with a ceasefire as the first step. The European Political Community summit in Dublin includes 50 leaders, including Ukraine's Zelensky, followed by an informal European Council meeting. Russia currently rejects Europe as a negotiating partner, while Trump envoys are expected in Dublin for contacts with Zelensky and European leaders.
