According to the BBC, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed a pledge from US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to include European Union delegates in the next round of peace talks with Russia. The meeting took place in Dublin on Thursday evening. Kushner stated that Vladimir Putin, during their meeting in Moscow, agreed to give the inclusion of European delegates a try. Zelensky believes that given Kyiv's ambition to join the EU, their presence in negotiations is essential. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine agreed to a prisoner exchange, described as the largest swap since the 2022 invasion. However, Kaja Kallas, the EU's top diplomat, expressed doubts regarding Russia's momentum toward a peace deal. Zelensky also raised concerns regarding systematic restrictions on the Starlink satellite service, which is vital for Ukrainian military operations.
