Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today expressed satisfaction with messages from US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about progress in diplomatic efforts to end the war with Russia, while stressing that Europe must also take part in the negotiations.

“I see changes. I am very happy with what I am hearing,” Zelensky told reporters in Copenhagen when asked about the briefing he received from US President Donald Trump’s envoys.

He also emphasised the importance of European participation in the diplomatic process, saying Ukraine must decide who will represent Europe at the negotiations before the end of November.

“During November, not later, we must decide who will represent Europe in the negotiations,” the Ukrainian president said.
