Tusk discussed with Zelensky the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia held in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday and mediated by the United States. They also discussed Ukraine's EU membership.
Tusk also attended a meeting of the Friends of Moldova group and talks of the coalition of the willing, a group bringing together mainly European countries supporting Ukraine in its defence against Russian aggression.
In the evening, Tusk was due to attend an official reception hosted by Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin for leaders attending the summit.
He also said on X that late on Thursday evening, talks involving representatives of the United States, Britain, Poland, Germany, France, Italy and EU institutions had taken place at Dublin's military airport. He said the US representatives had briefed participants on the outcome of a meeting in Moscow.
On Friday, EU leaders are due to meet separately in Dublin for an informal European Council meeting. They are expected to discuss peace negotiations, including who should represent the EU in those talks.
The European Political Community was initiated in 2022 by French President Emmanuel Macron following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It is a forum intended to promote dialogue and cooperation.
Alongside the 27 EU member states, it includes countries such as Turkey, Albania, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Norway and the United Kingdom. Canada is participating in the summit for the second time.
