High-level meeting set to discuss return of Ukrainian children
An international coalition will hold a high-level meeting in Europe to coordinate the return of children taken from Ukraine during Russia's invasion, Vice-President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas said. The meeting will concentrate on concrete repatriation steps, legal documentation and diplomatic cooperation to reunite children with their families and ensure their safety at home. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will meet his Georgian counterpart in Moldova amid renewed high-level exchanges between Kyiv and Tbilisi. Coordinated international action matters because legal and diplomatic pressure is the clearest path to reunify displaced children and secure accountability for wartime transfers.
⚡️ EU, Ukraine reject Germany's ex-Chancellor Schroeder as peace talks mediator. Kaja Kallas noted that Gerhard Schroeder has worked as "a high-level lobbyist for Russian state-owned companies," and that it is clear why Vladimir Putin "wants him" as the mediator.

Giuseppe Fiore5Obviously, it might as well be talking with Lavrov...🤦
Bryan4Nope, he's one of the B-holes that helped Germany become dependent on Russian oil.
lrietdijk.bsky.social2Traitor of the West, just for more money.
2catpawrent2So happy that President Z doesn't just roll over for these despicable tyrants.
Russia doesn’t get it: the EU is not seeking to negotiate anything on Russia’s terms, the conditions will include the trial of war criminals, demilitarization, compensation and return of Ukrainian children and lands. The collapse of the RF won’t be part of the demands, it’s inevitable.
pene.hu2i hope, you are right!
IS HE DEAD YET? ..Dave hater of racism , ignorance and hypocrisy2I think you are over optimistic on what the EU would agree to but those are the things Ukraine demands.
Katrien2Have you heard Merz declaring Ukraine should give up territory permanently recently? I think you seem too optimistic about the EU and European countries here, that are still en mass importing Russian gas and oil.
