European leaders back Trump's call for Ukraine ceasefire at present lines
- On Oct 21, European leaders and Ukraine issued a joint statement backing President Donald Trump's call for a ceasefire at present battle lines, supporting starting negotiations from the current contact line.
- After meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Oct 17, Trump shifted to urging a freeze on present lines, while European and Ukrainian leaders opposed any deal forcing Kyiv to cede land and accused Vladimir Putin of stalling.
- Planned diplomatic meetings, including an Oct 24 Coalition of the Willing session in London, aim to coordinate support as eight European leaders and senior European Union officials plan to use Russia's immobilised sovereign assets to help Ukraine.
- Leaders plan meetings later this week in the European Council and Coalition formats to push support forward, while more economic sanctions on Russia are likely at the EU summit in Brussels on Thursday.
- With Russia occupying about one fifth of Ukrainian territory, Kyiv rejects any carve-up deal, warning a frozen front could allow Moscow to mount new attacks, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy said `We share President Trump's positive outlook if it leads to the end of the war`.
