Zelenskyy Welcomes European Involvement in US-Backed Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks

Following recent meetings between US envoys Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, diplomatic efforts to end the conflict have intensified. President Zelenskyy has now publicly welcomed the inclusion of European leaders in the process, citing the importance of regional alignment as Ukraine pursues future EU membership. These discussions are part of a broader US-led initiative aimed at securing a formal peace agreement.

Analysis /Research Analysis

The available evidence confirms only that US-backed Russia-Ukraine talks were announced after Trump said a broad deal was possible. Details of any meeting with Putin, the terms discussed, and whether a trilateral Trump-Putin-Zelensky meeting will occur remain unverified.

After Kushner and Witkoff met Putin in Moscow and Zelensky in Dublin, Russia and Ukraine agreed to resume trilateral talks, while Trump is pushing for a leader-level summit stage.

ImplicationYes: increase, No: decrease

What it meansA verified joint appearance or official announcement of Trump, Putin, and Zelensky meeting before 2027 would directly satisfy the market condition, sharply raising YES probability and lowering NO probability.

TriggerConfirmed meeting date or joint communique from Russia and Ukraine talks describing terms or next steps.

ImplicationYes: increase, No: decrease

What it meansIf the announced US-backed Russia-Ukraine talks convene and produce a peace or ceasefire framework, that would make a later three-leader meeting more plausible, supporting YES and weakening NO, though it would not itself confirm the joint meeting required by the market.

INFERY / RESEARCH VERDICT
Rating

Buy YES

YES undervaluedSlight gapMedium confidence

A three-way meeting remains unlikely, but shuttle diplomacy and a Miami summit opening lift its probability above the market price.

“Yes”Fair price range4–28¢
  • Envoys Kushner and Witkoff met Putin in Moscow and Zelensky in Dublin, and the two sides agreed to resume trilateral talks.
  • Trump has pressed for a leader-level format, and the Miami G20 summit gives him a stage to seat Putin and Zelenskyy together.
  • Putin refuses direct talks with Zelenskyy and says Russia's territorial demands are unchanged, while the Kremlin denied knowing of any trilateral meeting plan.
⚠Risk: The call depends on a leader-level window opening; if Moscow keeps saying it has no plans for Putin to join the Miami summit and repeats his refusal to meet Zelenskyy face to face, that window is closing.
Next watch: Whether Putin confirms attendance at the Miami G20 summit, the clearest opening for the three to meet in person.
