Some EU leaders caution against talks with Russia
- On Wednesday, the office of European Council President Antonio Costa made "brief contacts at diplomatic level" with the Kremlin, sparking debate among European leaders about potential engagement with Russia.
- Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently urged the European Union to appoint a single envoy for Russian relations, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy focused on Monday's commencement of EU membership talks.
- Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten said Russia shows no "serious interest" in peace, echoing Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker and President Gitanas Nauseda, who questioned Moscow's willingness to negotiate.
- Several European leaders said on Thursday there was no point in rushing into talks, as an official clarified Costa's contacts were meant "to open communication channels" without discussing substance.
- Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs insisted "there has to be someone on the other side willing for peace," noting that contact is pointless if Russia refuses to engage.
