Zelensky arrives in Dublin for European Political Community summit, expects a debrief from Witkoff, Kushner

Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Dublin ahead of the European Political Community summit, where he is due to meet European partners and receive a briefing from US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Their planned meeting follows talks involving Ukraine, Russia and the US, and comes as Washington-led peace efforts remain stalled over the terms of a settlement.

Witkoff and Kushner said they would travel to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin before going to Dublin. Russia has demanded Ukraine withdraw from Donbas, accept limits on its military and NATO ambitions, and make other concessions; Kyiv rejects those terms and says an unconditional ceasefire should begin broader peace talks. Moscow has repeatedly rejected that proposal.
