Mixed Europe

The text reports that the European Union is preparing for negotiations with Vladimir Putin, with support from Ukrainian President Zelensky, and mentions European disappointment with Trump's diplomatic efforts. It also includes a statement from Dmitry Peskov that Putin is ready to negotiate.

The overall analysis of the claims indicates mixed evidence. The claims regarding EU negotiations and António Costa's outlook on dialogue with Putin are partially supported by evidence from medium-reliability sources, though no definitive agreements or broad support are confirmed. The assertion of Zelensky supporting these negotiations lacks corroboration. Peskov's statement on Putin's readiness is contradicted by evidence suggesting stringent conditions and lack of meaningful compromise from Putin's side. European disappointment with Trump's diplomatic efforts is partly supported, indicating differing views on his strategies among European leaders.
