British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed their support for Ukraine after a phone conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding the new US peace plan.
This was reported by President Zelensky, The Guardian and the press service of the German government.
The statement of the German government stated that the European leaders confirmed their “unwavering and full support for Ukraine on the way to a durable and just peace.”
Mertz, Macron and Starmer also welcomed the “US efforts to end the war”, in particular, the US readiness to provide “reliable security guarantees” to Kyiv. The leaders promised to “closely coordinate actions” with the US to protect the sovereignty and security of Ukraine.
All three emphasized that the “starting point” for negotiations should be the current line of confrontation, and emphasized the need to protect Ukrainian interests and the approval of any peace agreement by European partners.
“They pledged to continue to strive for the goal of protecting vital European and Ukrainian interests in the long term… So that the Ukrainian armed forces remain capable of effectively protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty… Any agreement that affects European states, the European Union or NATO requires the approval of European partners or consensus among allies,” the German government said in a statement.
As The Guardian points out, despite the positive wording in the first part of the statement, the last paragraphs show the concern of London, Paris and Berlin about the details of the American plan.
President Zelenskyi commented on the negotiations, saying that the parties discussed “a plan to end the war, which can become a starting point for the further conclusion of a peace agreement.”
“We appreciate the efforts of the United States, President Trump and his team to end this war. We are working on a document prepared by the American side. This should be a plan that will ensure a real, dignified peace,” Zelenskyy wrote.
He added that the teams of the four leaders agreed to coordinate actions.
“We are closely coordinating so that principled positions are taken into account. We coordinated the next steps and agreed that the teams at the appropriate levels will work together,” the President of Ukraine said.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is having a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and US President Donald Trump will discuss the 28-point American peace plan next week.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Johann Wadeful, said that the “peace plan” proposed by the US for Ukraine is not final.
Ukraine and Europe cannot ignore the “peace plan” of the Donald Trump administration, which consists of 28 points. According to experts, this plan actually reflects Russian demands and involves significant concessions from Kyiv.
At this stage, it is important cooperation between Ukraine and the USA, which aims to conclude an agreement on peace and security. After the meeting with the US delegation, Zelensky will discuss the draft peace plan, which may significantly affect the further actions of Kyiv and its international relations.
According to the new peace plan of the United States, Ukraine has several years refuse from the idea of joining NATO, and also will not be able to place a foreign peacekeeping contingent on its territory, reports The Wall Street Journal. In exchange, they expect a promise from Moscow not to attack Ukraine and other European countries in the future.
Before that, Axios wrote that Zelensky agreed to negotiate with Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine, despite its “shocking details.” at the same time, the USA assured that the plan can still be managed, and it will be coordinated with the EU.
US President Donald Trump has been informed of the detailed plan to end the war in Ukraine, which his special envoy Steve Witkoff is working on, and fully supports it, Trump administration spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said.
The security guarantees that the US is ready to provide to Ukraine within the framework of its “peace plan” are designed for 10 years with the possibility of extension.
