How do European leaders feel about their role in the Russia-Ukraine negotiations?

European leaders feel fairly sidelined in the negotiations regarding Ukraine, with the United States engaging more directly and bilaterally with Russia. This has prompted significant soul-searching in European capitals, with meetings in Brussels and Paris focused on how Europe can stay relevant in this geopolitical situation. The sentiment has sparked discussions about Europe's position and responsibilities in a world where they perceive themselves as being marginalized in important diplomatic talks. European leaders are questioning their role and considering how to maintain relevance when major powers are negotiating without their substantial involvement.
