Ukrainians, Europeans must be on board with any plan to end war, EU ministers say

EU foreign ministers demand Kyiv and European consent for any US peace plan amid concerns it mirrors Moscow's demands and risks sidelining Ukraine's sovereignty.

  • On November 19, Western media outlets published details of a peace plan reportedly drafted by U.S. and Russian officials, though it remains unclear when it will be public.
  • The draft reportedly calls for Kyiv to cede territory and limit arms, granting Russia effective control of the Donbas and reducing Ukraine's military capacity.
  • EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said consultation was essential, stressing `For any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board` while U.S. envoys including Steve Witkoff engaged with both sides.
  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, said Ukraine will work with the U.S. on plan elements and expects talks with Donald Trump, while European ministers insisted peace cannot mean 'capitulation' for Kyiv after a deadly strike in Ternopil killed 26.
  • Amid corruption scandals and political rifts, European leaders warned Europe's security is at stake and said the EU and Ukraine must be consulted on any deal, while domestic pressures and a $100m Energoatom probe strain Kyiv and EU unity.
