French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni have called for the European Union to re-engage diplomatically with Russia to influence post-war security discussions. This push has intensified amid debates on appointing a special envoy to streamline communication with the Kremlin.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the proposed “European preference” aims to prioritise EU-made products in public procurement, essential for enhancing competitiveness and reducing dependency on foreign imports. Industry leaders warn of supply chain disruptions and increased costs.
