Top European officials have urgently traveled to Washington as the United States and Russia move closer to negotiating a possible ceasefire in Ukraine.
Germany’s national security adviser, Jens Plötner, arrived in Washington on Friday for high-priority discussions alongside his British counterpart, Jonathan Powell, and Emmanuel Bonne, the diplomatic adviser to French President Emmanuel Macron. The trio held a meeting at the White House with U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
The unexpected visit comes as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine accelerate. Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. officials agreed on the framework for a 30-day ceasefire following discussions in Saudi Arabia, placing the next move in Moscow’s hands.
