EU officials are seeking diplomatic channels with Moscow as they try to ensure Europe has a seat in any future Ukraine peace talks.
- The European Union has reached out to Moscow in a tentative bid to open communication channels, aiming to ensure the continent is not sidelined in potential talks to end the war in Ukraine.
- On Monday, Ukraine officially opened negotiations to join the European Union, launching a process that requires the government to commit to years of political reforms while fighting the Russian invasion.
- Brief diplomatic contacts occurred recently without substantive discussion, as Russian President Vladimir Putin stated earlier this month that he has not ruled out speaking to the European Union.
- European Union leaders are heading to Brussels for a summer summit where Ukraine remains high on the agenda, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expected to address the 27 leaders.
- Putin has attempted to bypass Europe to negotiate Ukraine's future directly with Washington, positioning Moscow to shape any settlement outside the European Union framework.
