President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky arrived with his team in Ireland on Wednesday, November 11, where he will take part in international meetings and hold negotiations with European leaders. His meeting with representatives of US President Donald Trump on ending the war is also scheduled.
The head of state announced his arrival on his Telegram channel.
The main international event will be the summit of the European Political Community, which will take place on November 12 in Dublin. About 50 European leaders will take part in it. One of the central topics of the meeting will be the situation in Ukraine and further support for Kyiv.
Contacts with the Irish leadership are also planned as part of the visit. Zelensky is expected to meet with the country's Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
Special attention will be paid to peace negotiations. On Thursday, November 12, Zelensky plans to meet in Dublin with US special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Before that, the American negotiators intend to visit Moscow, where they will hold consultations with Vladimir Putin following the trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia in Abu Dhabi.
Kushner previously said that after the meeting with the Russian leadership, the American delegation will travel to Ireland to inform Zelensky about the results of the conversation and discuss further proposals for resolving the war.
The Ukrainian president himself confirmed the upcoming negotiations with the American side. According to him, after the contacts of US representatives with Moscow, Kyiv and Washington intend to coordinate positions and determine possible further diplomatic steps.
Recall that on November 10–11, the next round of trilateral negotiations took place in Abu Dhabi. One of its results was a preliminary agreement on the preparation of a new large-scale exchange of prisoners of war.
The parties also discussed security guarantees for Ukraine and the possibility of broader participation of European states in the negotiation process. However, no final agreements on a ceasefire were reached.
Zelensky has previously stressed that Ukraine is interested in a speedy end to the war on terms of a dignified and sustainable peace. At the same time, European partners, in his opinion, should participate in all stages of diplomatic settlement.
