Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said political changes in the United States and elsewhere had created an “window of opportunity” to discuss peace with Russia. According to Sina Finance, he urged European allies to seize the opening and choose a specific leader to represent Europe after years of divisions.

Zelensky made the remarks in Dublin on Wednesday before meeting U.S. envoys Witkoff and Kushner. He said Europe needed to select its representative in November.

The envoys are due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday before meeting Zelensky in Dublin. Zelensky pressed his allies ahead of Thursday’s European Political Community summit, which will bring together more than 50 European and world leaders. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has entered its fifth year, and the issue is expected to be a focus of discussion.

Zelensky said the United States was changing, a week after voters expressed dissatisfaction with U.S. President Donald Trump in the midterm elections.
