Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze does not expect a breakthrough in the coming weeks or months. Speaking as US envoys arrive in Dublin after talks in Moscow, the Ukrainian MP and former deputy prime minister calls instead for an unconditional ceasefire and unified European pressure.

Her assessment gives a cautious counterpoint to the diplomatic arrivals in "All eyes on Dublin as Ukraine takes centre stage | Prime Time", a report and studio discussion from Ireland's public broadcaster, Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ News).

Correspondent Louise Byrne follows European leaders gathering at Dublin's Convention Centre for the European Political Community summit. Established after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the forum brings European governments together for political and strategic discussions.

The report then follows US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff from their meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to their arrival at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel, outside Dublin, for discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

European participation is a recurring demand. Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin calls for clear, coherent leadership, while European Parliament President Roberta Metsola urges a united and consistent voice. Zelenskyy welcomes Europeans becoming part of the talks.

In the studio, Irish foreign affairs minister of state Neale Richmond argues that Europe must have a role in negotiations and stresses security guarantees for Ukraine and the wider continent. Dublin City University's Dr Andrew Forde examines Russia's strategic position and Europe's role in supplying Ukraine with resources.

The programme also carries Zelenskyy's warning about Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian jet-powered Shahed drones. In separate summit coverage, the broadcaster reports his concern that limitations on the US military satellite service Starshield are disrupting Ukrainian air defences. Alongside the debate over who sits at the negotiating table, Kyiv is seeking answers about the systems it relies on to defend its skies.
