Taoiseach Micheál Martin will host an informal meeting of EU leaders in Dublin this morning following yesterday's European Political Community summit.
Leaders will assess the latest update by US envoys to Russia following their meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel last night.
Following the meeting with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who had met Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in Moscow, President Zelensky said European negotiators will take part in talks directly with Ukraine-Russia delegations in US-led talks in Abu Dhabi next week.
While talks took place in the UAE this week, European officials did not participate directly.
After being briefed by the US envoys, Mr Zelensky said Europeans will take part in the next talks rather than remain "separately" on the sidelines.
"We cannot conclude this deal without Europeans being at the table," Mr Kushner said alongside the Ukrainian leader in Casement Aerodrome.
Speaking to reporters, President Zelensky said the exchange of prisoners of war will be the biggest so far.
"Our soldiers will come home and I am very thankful to all our negotiators. This is a real result, this is very important."
He said the American side made progress on talks with Mr Putin on Europeans taking part in future talks.
