Media: EU leaders support the establishment of a special envoy position for Ukraine issues
Russian State News Agency, Moscow January 13, 2025. According to a report by the American political news website "Politico," citing unnamed senior officials, the establishment of an EU special envoy position for Ukraine issues has received widespread support from a series of EU senior leaders.
The report states that the proposal to establish the EU special envoy position for Ukraine issues was put forward by Finnish President Stubb last year, and he also recommended himself for the position.
The report points out that the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kalas, opposes the establishment of this position.
The U.S. government previously announced that it is developing a solution to the Ukraine issue and stated that due to the ongoing work, details are not being discussed at this time. The Kremlin stated that Russia is open to negotiations and continues to discuss based on the Anchorage meeting platform.
On December 2, 2025, Russian President Putin met with U.S. presidential envoy Witkov and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of U.S. President Trump and founder of Affinity Partners company, at the Kremlin. The U.S. delegation's visit to Russia aimed to discuss the U.S.-proposed plan for mediating the Ukraine conflict. Putin stated that the U.S. had divided the 27 points in the plan into four parts and suggested discussing them separately.
Russian Presidential Assistant Ushakov said after the meeting that the talks were constructive, but there was still a lot of work to be done, and Russia and the United States would continue to maintain contact. Ushakov also pointed out that the military success of the Russian forces positively influenced the process and nature of the negotiations.
Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov stated that the Kiev regime should make a decision and start negotiations, and the space for the Kiev regime to make free decisions is getting smaller as the Russian forces advance, which forces the Kiev regime to resolve the issue peacefully, and prolonging the conflict is meaningless and dangerous.
