US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Irish capital, Dublin. According to reports, the two American representatives shared the outcomes of their recent discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The meeting took place after Putin refused to back down from territorial demands to end the ongoing war in Ukraine. The Russian president also firmly opposed the deployment of foreign peacekeeping forces within Ukrainian territory.
Putin stated that the official state border between Russia and Ukraine should serve as the line of separation, warning that stationing international forces would signify the continuation of the conflict.
Meanwhile, President Zelenskyy said that an opportunity exists to reach an agreement to end the war before the year 2027. Kyiv has continued to emphasize security guarantees and sovereignty in any potential diplomatic process.
At the same time, European leaders in Dublin stressed that any decisions regarding European security must be made with the full participation of European nations, insisting that regional security cannot be negotiated without their direct involvement.
