delfi.ee (Madurese) —

US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said Russian leader Vladimir Putin has agreed to include Europe in the next round of Ukraine peace talks, following a meeting in Moscow. Witkoff told Russian media that European partners will join the upcoming negotiations, calling their participation important. However, Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov did not confirm this, stating Europe's current stance on Ukraine is a recipe for endless war. During the meeting, Putin proposed a joint humanitarian mission in Kostiantynivka, eastern Ukraine, which he claims is under Russian control, though Ukraine says its forces remain there. Kyiv has previously worried such missions could be used for Russian troop regrouping.
