US EditionEuropean Leaders Assure Ukraine of Their Support After US Peace Plan Leaves Them Sidelined
European leaders assured continued support for Ukraine despite concerns over the U.S. 28-point peace plan including Russian demands and limited security guarantees, officials said.
- On Friday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer phoned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to assure continued support and welcomed parts of the U.S. proposal that pledged Ukraine's sovereignty and security guarantees.
- The U.S. drew up a 28-point plan behind closed doors with Russia and without Ukraine, described as a 'working document' after talks by special envoy Steve Witkoff with adviser Rustem Umerov.
- The proposal would require specific concessions, including Ukraine ceding territory, curbing its military, and being barred from NATO, while pairing sanctions relief for Russia with security guarantees for Ukraine; officials disputed whether Rustem Umerov agreed to most of it.
- EU officials said the union had not been formally communicated, noting any decision needs Europe's and NATO's consensus, while Zelenskyy said Kyiv is studying the American-prepared document and will discuss it with U.S. President Trump soon.
- The Kremlin warned that battlefield gains were shrinking options for Zelenskyy, urging negotiation 'now rather than later' as Russian forces struck Zaporizhzhia and Ternopil, causing dozens of casualties.
