In addition to the trilateral talks, the Ukrainian delegation plans to meet with representatives from the E4 group-comprising the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy-to coordinate efforts. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed France’s participation in the negotiations and stressed that

"European nations cannot stand aside when discussions concern Europe's future directly."

Representatives from NATO and the European Commission will also take part in the discussions. Under US mediation, Ukrainian and Russian delegates will address crucial security-related issues. Vladimir Medinsky, aide to Russia’s president, remains the principal negotiator for the Russian side.
