Europe stresses need to protect Ukrainian interests ahead of Trump-Putin talks

  • On August 9, 2025, representatives from Ukraine and various European countries gathered close to London alongside senior U.S. officials to advocate for Ukraine’s inclusion in settlement discussions between President Trump and President Putin.
  • This meeting occurred amid concerns that Trump and Putin might reach an agreement excluding Kyiv, after Putin’s August 6 ceasefire proposal demanded Ukraine cede territories.
  • Officials said Russia would agree to a ceasefire freezing battle lines in contested regions if Kyiv withdrew forces from Donetsk and Luhansk, while Ukraine rejected ceding any territory.
  • Trump announced plans to meet Putin in Alaska on August 15 and suggested a deal would involve some land exchange, which European and Ukrainian leaders strongly oppose.
  • The European bloc reaffirmed support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, insisting peace talks cannot proceed without Ukraine’s participation and warning against rewarding aggression.
