Europe and Ukraine are preparing a plan to bring Russia to the peace talks — Bloomberg
European countries, in collaboration with the Ukrainian government, have begun actively working on a new diplomatic strategy aimed at engaging the Russian Federation in the process of a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
This step has become possible thanks to the shift in the situation on the battlefield in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
European leaders are seeking to intensify the negotiation process immediately to avoid another winter of intensified Russian attacks on the civilian population and energy infrastructure.
Currently, representatives from Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are mapping out the potential participation of both sides in future dialogue and have already held initial consultations with the Ukrainian side.
EU officials are convinced that a favorable window of opportunity has now opened to compel Vladimir Putin to begin negotiations.
Among the key factors, diplomats cite the stagnation of the American track, significant losses by the occupying army, effective strikes by Ukrainian drones deep behind Russian lines, as well as the emergence of the first signs of dissatisfaction with the war among the Russian elite.
Western partners clearly emphasize that they have no intention of forcing Kyiv to make territorial compromises or political concessions to the aggressor.
