## Key points

- Six countries and EU officials will represent Europe in Ukraine talks.
- Russia has not confirmed Europe will have a seat.
- European leaders say a ceasefire must come first.

## Summary

EU leaders have chosen Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and EU institutions to represent Europe in future Ukraine peace talks. The decision aims to give Europe a united voice, although Russia has not committed to allowing Ukraine’s backers to take part.

The choice of representatives does not settle what Europe will discuss with Moscow. Russia wants broader negotiations on European security, while several European leaders say the priority must be a ceasefire and ending the war; they also warn that there is little evidence Russia is ready for peace.
