🧩 Things are not so straightforward when it comes to European participation in peace talks.
Politico reports that Europe is struggling to settle on its representatives, having split into three camps:
THE FIRST supports European Council President António Costa for the role.
THE SECOND—led by France and Germany—wants to prevent Brussels from seizing the initiative.
THE THIRD (the least viable group) backs EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas—though no one actually believes she has the capacity to reach any agreement with the Russian Federation.
🇩🇪 Friedrich Merz, for his part, opposes the idea of a single European negotiator; instead, he advocates for the inclusion of representatives from five specific nations: Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Poland.
🇫🇷 Emmanuel Macron is pushing his own candidacy—a logical move, given that he needs a new focus for his post-presidential career.
🇮🇹 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, conversely, is championing the appointment of a single European representative and has urged a swift decision.
🇷🇺 Meanwhile, Dmitry Peskov has called on Europe to appoint an official envoy for negotiations with Russia:
"If the Europeans truly have someone who is actually authorized to hold talks—and if they genuinely have the desire to do so—we are prepared to engage with them. Once we understand their true intentions and their willingness to contribute to the peace process, we can then decide on holding a dialogue regarding a settlement in Ukraine—potentially in an expanded format."
