Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the United States' move to bring European leaders into the Russia-Ukraine peace talks, according to a BBC News report. The BBC reported that Zelensky said it makes sense for European leaders to be involved, and that Ukraine hopes to eventually join the European Union.

Live coverage by Jakub Krupa in The Guardian reported that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to expand their next round of negotiations to include European countries. The coverage said the talks were taking place as leaders met in Dublin amid a search for a lead EU negotiator. According to the same coverage, EU leaders would continue discussing diplomatic and financial support for Ukraine after Zelenskyy urged them to "pay attention" to Vladimir Putin's demands on security.

NPR reported that President Trump's envoys met with Russia's president and said further talks are likely, perhaps with European participation. The NPR report, written by Hannah Bloch, does not say that an expanded round has been agreed.

The accounts differ on how firm the expansion is. The Guardian described the inclusion of European countries as agreed by Ukraine and Russia, while NPR said only that further talks were likely, perhaps with European participation. The BBC framed the development as one the United States is bringing about.

None of the three reports gives a date for the next round of talks. The Guardian names Dublin only as the place where EU leaders were meeting, and the BBC and NPR summaries do not name a location for the negotiations.
