In brief

Ukraine’s president hopes Europe will choose its representatives for peace talks by the end of November. He linked Europe’s participation to future security guarantees and reconstruction.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said he hoped Europe would decide who should represent it in talks to end Russia’s war against Ukraine by the end of November, preferably in Germany on November 19. RBC-Ukraine reported his briefing remarks, citing the Ukrainian president’s office.

Zelensky said the negotiating mandate could go to one, two or three people, or a group. He urged Europe to discuss the choice directly with Ukraine rather than expect Kyiv simply to accept its selected representative.

He linked Europe’s role in the talks to future security guarantees and the businesses that would participate in Ukraine’s reconstruction. The dates he named reflected his hopes for a decision; RBC-Ukraine’s report did not name the future representatives or announce their appointment.
