Poland has proposed significant changes to the diplomatic framework known as the Normandy format, which has been used to negotiate an end to the war between Ukraine and Russia. The Polish government argues that the existing structure — involving France, Germany, Ukraine, and Russia — no longer reflects the geopolitical realities of the conflict and should be expanded to include broader international participation. According to Poland’s proposal, the peace process should be placed under the leadership of a United Nations–appointed special envoy. Warsaw believes this step would provide greater legitimacy and neutrality to negotiations while strengthening international oversight. In addition, Poland has called for the involvement of the European Union as an institution, rather than limiting Europe’s role to individual states, as well as the inclusion of the United States. Polish officials say the current Normandy format has struggled to produce meaningful results, particularly as Russia continues its military aggression against Ukraine. Expanding the group, they argue, would help balance the negotiating table, increase diplomatic pressure on Moscow, and ensure that key Western partners have a direct role in shaping peace efforts. The proposal reflects growing dissatisfaction among some European countries with the effectiveness of existing negotiation mechanisms. Supporters of reform believe that wider participation could reinvigorate stalled talks and better align peace efforts with international law and collective security principles. Poland’s initiative highlights its increasingly active role in European diplomacy and its desire to influence how the international community responds to the war in Ukraine. While it remains unclear whether the proposed changes will gain broad support, the call for reform underscores a broader debate over how peace negotiations should be structured amid an ongoing and evolving conflict.
