Creation of the new European E5 format
Poland will become a member of the newly established E5 negotiating group, which aims to formulate and represent a unified European position on the future of Ukraine and pan-European security.
The E5 group will comprise Poland, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. Representatives of EU institutions will also join the process. The formation of this coalition was announced following a meeting of European leaders held in Dublin.
Poland's position and near-term plans
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasised that Warsaw's participation in this format is a significant achievement. According to him, Poland will play a key role in the work of the E5 group. Tusk stressed that Warsaw will not agree to concessions that would alter the European security architecture in favour of Russia.
European Council President António Costa noted that the new mechanism was created specifically to ensure the representation of a cohesive European view on issues concerning the continent's security and Ukraine's prospects. He added that the next round of negotiations involving European representatives is scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi in approximately two weeks.
Participants in the Dublin summit
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also took part in the discussions in Dublin. The delegation that arrived at the summit included representatives of Donald Trump's administration: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. It is known that they flew to Dublin from Moscow, where they had previously held a meeting with Vladimir Putin.
