At the Munich Security Conference, Finnish President Alexander Stubb emphasized the need for the EU to appoint a special envoy to Ukraine to ensure European representation in peace negotiations, akin to the Kosovo model. This comes in response to U.S. statements suggesting Europe would not participate directly in talks. Croatian PM Andrej Plenkovic supported this, noting the absence of a unified and respected figure in recent negotiations. Concerns arose about U.S.-Russia talks occurring without Ukrainian involvement, as advisors indicated that Russia is not currently open to negotiations.
If there is a negotiating table, I think we need to do something similar to what was done in Kosovo. Europe needs to have a special envoy.
What we lacked on Ukraine in recent years was one personality highly respected by everyone, taken into account in Moscow, taken into account in Kyiv.
