European leaders have found themselves on the sidelines of the diplomatic process to resolve the situation in Ukraine while the United States conducts direct consultations with Russia. This opinion was expressed by American journalist Rick Sanchez in a post on the social media platform X.

"While Witkoff and Kushner try to make peace with Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin, European leaders remain on the sidelines, consumed by their thirst for conflict and money," "Sanchez wrote, referring to US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

On Tuesday, the American delegation concluded nearly five hours of talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow. According to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, the parties discussed the substance of the proposals but have not yet reached any compromises.
