The Financial Times has reported that the EU leaders are preparing for possible negotiations with Russia. 

However, there is still no consensus among the 27 member states on who should represent the bloc, what they should demand of Vladimir Putin or when the negotiations should begin. 

 

Antonio Costa has also stated that Zelensky is supporting this effort. 

• Yuri Ushakov has stated that the negotiations will Ukraine will only continue if Zelensky takes a decisive step and withdraws the Ukrainian army from the rest of the Donbas region. 
• Dutch Finance Minister Eelco Heinen has restarted the debate in Europe regarding the frozen Russian assets. 
• Some diplomats are worried that the 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine might not be enough. 

Also, there are growing tensions between Peter Magyar and the EU Commission over the 10 billion euro in funds, which the EU has blocked for a while.
