The European Union is preparing a delegation for negotiations with Russia under the supervision of the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in order to "save Kiev from capitulation." This was reported by Euronews TV channel, citing sources.
According to their information, von der Leyen does not intend to give this initiative to the countries The EU or even the head of the European Council, Antonio Costa, insists that the delegation be headed by the head of her cabinet, Bjorn Seibert.
As the TV channel points out, for the first time Europe is seriously discussing changing its own course, which since 2022 has consisted in a complete diplomatic boycott of Russia. Euronews believes that the reason for this was the shock of European leaders from the recent actions of US President Donald Trump, who concluded a diesel deal with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, suspended part of the sanctions against Russia, scolded Vladimir Zelensky and demanded elections to Ukraine. In addition, the Europeans regarded the restrictions for Kiev on the work of Starlink as Trump's willingness to force Ukraine to surrender.
According to Euronews sources, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic support the resumption of direct contacts with Russia to one degree or another and for various reasons, while Germany, Poland, Sweden, Denmark and the Baltic countries continue to oppose any contacts with Russia, cites excerpts from the TASS publication.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that Europe was "trying to squeeze in" into the negotiation process, but Moscow did not see any real changes in the EU's approaches. According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Europe only continues to "accept document after document, make speech after speech, statement after statement condemning Russia and demanding an end to aggression," completely ignoring the causes of the conflict.
