Details: Tajani said that Kyiv should involve more than just the European Three (E3) – France, the United Kingdom and Germany – in the negotiations.

"Europe can do a great deal, but I believe Zelenskyy should look not to individual European states but to all EU countries. There is no need for initiatives by small groups," he noted.

"I offer this advice as a friend of Ukraine: it would be wise to involve not only France and Germany but also Italy and Poland," he added.

Background:

• The national security advisers to the leaders of the E3 travelled to Kyiv at the same time as a delegation of US negotiators and took part in one of the sessions. The Kremlin expressed its dissatisfaction with their involvement in the negotiations.
• Zelenskyy said an agreement had been reached to hold a new meeting in the Ukraine-US-Europe format in the near future.
