"Any agreement between the United States and Russia should include Ukraine and the European Union"
The European Union (EU) is set to deliberate on its potential involvement in negotiations between the United States and Russia regarding a ceasefire in Ukraine. Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, announced an online meeting of EU foreign ministers for August 11, 2025, to discuss the next steps.
The meeting will be attended by EU foreign ministers only, and it is not confirmed that the US or Russian officials will be present. The purpose of the gathering is to strategize and decide on the EU's role in any possible negotiations between the United States and Russia.
Kaja Kallas emphasized the importance of Ukraine and the EU's inclusion in any agreement related to Ukraine, stating that their involvement is crucial for the security of both Ukraine and Europe as a whole. She also reiterated that any peace agreement or ceasefire involving Ukraine must respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet on August 15, 2025, in Alaska, according to a report by the XINHUA news agency. However, this meeting is not included in the EU's online meeting on August 11, 2025.
As of mid-2025, the available search results did not provide specific information about the current stance of the European Union regarding inclusion in any potential US-Russia agreement related to a ceasefire in Ukraine. However, the EU has consistently emphasized its geopolitical and security interests in the region and its insistence on being involved or consulted in any negotiations affecting Ukraine.
For the most precise and up-to-date details on the EU’s position in ongoing or potential US-Russia talks on Ukraine ceasefires, additional recent official statements or news from EU diplomatic sources would be necessary.
