US envoy says Russia and Ukraine agree to expand talks to Europe

US President Donald Trump's envoy Jared Kushner said Russia and Ukraine agreed to expand the next round of talks to include European nations, as Washington works toward the war's "largest prisoner exchange." Kushner stated the potential exchange could reunite thousands of families, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy welcomed European participation and hoped the agenda would address ceasefires. The expansion aims to tackle broader postwar European security arrangements alongside territorial issues. The remarks follow this week's talks in Abu Dhabi, the first in nine months, with Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff meeting Putin in Moscow and Zelenskiy in Dublin. Russia holds a fifth of Ukraine, and major differences remain on territorial issues.
