US envoys meet Putin as Zelenskyy says Starlink disrupted for Ukraine’s military again – Europe live

European Council president António Costa has called for Ukraine to be free to choose its partners and future, and for European countries, the EU and Nato to have a voice in any peace talks. He said European security is inseparable from Ukraine’s security, making the shape of a settlement important to the wider continent.

Costa said the immediate priorities should be a ceasefire, tangible progress in the Black Sea and conditions for a peace agreement. He argued that Russia’s invasion had destroyed Europe’s previous security arrangements and said Russia’s focus on escalation and attacks on civilians must change. He described the coming weeks as a decisive test of Russia’s willingness to end the war; talks continued behind closed doors.
