Quick Summary

US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ireland on Thursday to advocate for the inclusion of European negotiators in future peace talks. While Kushner claimed on social media that both sides agreed to this expansion to address broader postwar security, Moscow has not officially confirmed the agreement and instead suggested Europeans must choose between peace and continuing the war. The report highlights a shift toward including European voices to address security guarantees, even as President Putin recently rejected foreign peacekeeping troops and maintained Russia's territorial demands.

Story summary

Leaders from more than 40 European countries gathered in Dublin on November 12, 2026, for a European Political Community summit focused on the continent's security. A primary goal of the meeting is to establish a declaration stating that any matters affecting European security must be decided by Europeans. This summit occurs amid a U.S.-backed effort to revive peace talks for the Russia-Ukraine war, which has lasted nearly five years. During a day of shuttle diplomacy, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow before traveling to Dublin to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. While Putin maintained a hardline stance by refusing to compromise on territory demands and warning that Russia would target any foreign troops deployed to Ukraine, the U.S. and Ukraine announced that European negotiators would join the next round of peace talks. Zelenskyy welcomed this move, stating it would ensure the European Union has a "voice" in negotiations. Additionally, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney attended the summit and expressed expectations for increased European partnerships with Canada's auto sector following the budding relationship with the European Union.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Other matters, such as a ceasefire - or any concrete steps towards ending the war - took a back seat as the key point of progress announced by the trio was that European negotiators would be involved in future discussions on ending Russia's all-out war on Ukraine.
None of the parties on the ballot are expected to secure a majority in parliament.
Markwayne Mullin, secretary of Homeland Security, added: "Thanks to our brave Secret Service officers, this criminal illegal alien with three firearms in his vehicle was arrested near the White House before he could harm anyone."
"I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States," Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social account, adding that White would be a press secretary "like none other." "Dana, please take the job!" Trump said.
"The president has invited Gadi Eisenkot to the president’s residence for the ceremony to confer the mandate, which will take place tomorrow," it added.
