The Europeans have no arguments in favor of the participation of the European Union (EU) in the negotiations on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. This was announced on February 14 by Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov.

"Neither he nor [French President Emmanuel] has serious answers to the question of why the Europeans are needed in the negotiations. Macron, nor [the head of the European diplomacy, Kai] Callas," he said in a message on the Telegram channel.

He also added that Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikroski also did not provide arguments in favor of EU participation in the negotiations. Pushkov also added that the Europeans are not able to bring anything but disruption to the conflict settlement process.
