Zelensky Arrives in Dublin for EPC Summit, Plans Talks with US Envoys

The notable element is not the summit itself but the bilateral track: Zelensky meeting Witkoff and Kushner on the sidelines signals that US-mediated diplomacy is running alongside, not through, the European Political Community format. That gives Washington a direct channel while European leaders confer separately, which matters for how coordinated any pressure or proposal becomes. Whether these Dublin conversations produce a shared position among the roughly 20 leaders involved, or simply parallel bilateral exchanges, is the open question worth watching.
