Politico reported on Europe's inability to choose a negotiator for dialogue with Russia

European leaders have failed to agree on the appointment of a single representative for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on resolving the conflict in Ukraine. This was reported by the Politico newspaper, citing diplomats and officials familiar with the discussions.

"Some European leaders wanted a superhero negotiator to appear who could stand up to Vladimir Putin and [US President] Donald Trump, achieve a just peace agreement for Ukraine and ensure the security of the continent against the backdrop of the negotiations that are gaining momentum," the article says.

However, as Politico notes, it was not possible to choose such a representative. As a result, the participants of the Dublin summit on Friday decided to collectively participate in the negotiations.

Germany, France, Poland, Italy and the United Kingdom will represent Europe together with representatives of the European Commission and the European Council. Now this group will have to agree on a common strategy for cooperation with Russia.

Signs of agreement: Russia and the United States have agreed on a new round of negotiations on Ukraine

Putin and Trump's special envoys confirmed preparations for a large-scale prisoner exchange and discussed a truce in Konstantinovka.

On the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia does not want and will not put forward conditions for a European Union negotiating group that could potentially participate in contacts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. At the same time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the topic of EU inclusion was not discussed during negotiations in the Kremlin with the American delegation.

On October 28, she, commenting on the disputes in the association about who exactly would represent it in potential contacts with Moscow, called them caricatured and anecdotal. She noted that the Russian side does not care about the identity of a potential negotiator on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, as it pays more attention to the position from which he will appear at the conversation.
