President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Ukraine expects its European partners to join talks with the United States in the coming days. He frames this as the next step in forming a broader negotiating team for discussions in Washington.

According to Ukrainian reporting, the talks are scheduled for 9–10 October, with European partners joining the Ukrainian negotiating team during that period. Reuters similarly reports that Zelenskiy anticipates European participation in the US talks, but focuses more broadly on timing rather than detailing who will be included.

Taken together, both accounts indicate that Ukraine is coordinating with European partners to participate directly in negotiations with the US in early October, suggesting a more multilateral approach to the talks while negotiations are underway.
