00:01The European Union is looking to play a bigger role in peace talks to end Russia's war on Ukraine.
00:08The United States wants to resume trilateral talks in November,
00:12and the European Union sees this as an opportunity to join in,
00:16bringing European representatives to the table.
00:19By doing so, the bloc hopes to influence Washington's thinking,
00:24which has recently shifted sharply in Moscow's favor.
00:27The expectation is now that there will be talks, further talks at multilateral level,
00:35at senior official level.
00:37Of course, the European Union will also be represented in that occasion.
00:42The peace process stalled in February after the U.S. launched its war on Iran.
00:47As a result, much of its diplomatic focus shifted to the Middle East.
00:51The Parliament's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, did not oppose European participation,
00:56but stressed that the next round of talks under preparation would remain trilateral.
