Zelenskiy urges Europe to pick single envoy for Moscow talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called on European nations to designate a unified representative for talks with Moscow, stressing that the choice must be coordinated with Kyiv, Danish broadcaster DR reported.

Speaking on the negotiation framework, Zelenskiy said Europe must decide on its envoy within November, noting that dozens of leaders cannot effectively engage Russian President Vladimir Putin simultaneously and that Kyiv should not be confronted with decisions made behind its back.

The Ukrainian president added that the negotiating mandate could be granted either to a single official, a team of delegates, or a designated contact group.
