On November 5, 2026, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warned that the EU risks becoming irrelevant in Ukraine peace negotiations due to competing diplomatic initiatives. In her letter to European Council President António Costa, she emphasized the need for a unified EU mandate to represent the bloc effectively. Meloni stated that a divided Europe serves the interests of those wanting the war to continue, jeopardizing human lives and security. She called for a decision on who should represent the EU and what authority that representative should have. Meloni also highlighted upcoming meetings, including a Coalition of the Willing meeting on November 19 and a Berlin format gathering on November 12, which exemplify the overlapping initiatives. She urged that this issue be placed on the agenda for the informal European Council meeting in Dublin and addressed at the December summit.
