Ahead lies an eventful day and important negotiations,” Budanov stated. “Representatives of our European partners – France, Great Britain, and Germany – are also in Kyiv. Together, we are all working to achieve a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.” Reuters reported that national security advisers from the three European nations traveled to the Ukrainian capital concurrently with the US envoys. A diplomatic source cited by the agency did not specify the exact negotiation sessions or bilateral formats in which the European officials would participate. President Volodymyr Zelensky subsequently clarified the format, explaining that consultations would proceed across several distinct stages rather than a single joint meeting, UA.News reported. According to Zelensky, the Ukrainian negotiating team will first hold a dedicated bilateral discussion with Trump’s envoys before convening a second session with the European advisers.
