Russia indicates it’s open to Ukraine joining EU as part of peace deal to end war, US officials say
Russia’s acceptance of Ukraine joining the EU marks a major concession in U.S.-brokered talks that also include strong, Article Five-like security guarantees for Kyiv.
- On Monday, U.S. officials said Russia indicated it would accept Ukraine joining the European Union as part of a U.S.-brokered peace deal, with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner meeting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin, Germany.

- After a five-hour session followed by a roughly 90-minute meeting, Rustem Umerov, Ukraine's lead negotiator, said `real progress` was achieved at the Berlin meetings.
- A proposed 20-point package would include Article Five-like guarantees for Ukraine, but U.S. officials said these require U.S. Senate ratification and called Moscow's openness a major concession.
- If Moscow accepts EU accession, it would shift a key conflict cause, but control of Donetsk region remains a major obstacle to ending the nearly four-year war reshaping European security.
