Ukraine may agree to stop the struggle and accept Russian control over some Moscow territories currently occupies as part of the European Peace Proposal, according to the telegraph report. This plan assumes that it will freeze the front line in their current state, which effectively allows Russia to maintain control over areas, including Luhansk, Donetsk, Zeporizzhia, Kherson and Crimea.
Zeletsky rejects other territorial concessions
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Green told European leaders that any peace settlement proposed by US President Donald Trump must not include other Ukrainian territorial concessions beyond what Russia already occupies. However, he signaled openness for freezing the front line in its current position.
The news outlet quotes a western official describing the intensive diplomatic efforts before the expected interviews Trump-Putin this Friday: “The plan can only be related to the current positions held by militants.”
European concerns about Trump-Putin’s action
European capitals expressed growing concerns that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could negotiate the end of the war without adequately consulting Kiev.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday, “I have a lot of worries and hope,” he added that American officials have committed to consulting European leaders before the Alaska summit.
TUSK emphasized the European company attitude towards the territorial integrity of Ukraine: “It is clear for Poland and our partners that the state border cannot be changed by violence.
Putin’s war targets remain unchanged
European diplomats remain wary of any accompaniment of the peace plan. Telegraph notes that a peaceful proposal supported by Russia involves freezing the front -ins of southeast Ukraine, but requires Kiev to withdraw from Donetsk and Luhansk, which is currently controlling.
According to a report by the Washington Institute for the Study of the War cited by the intelligence publication, Russia continues to seek “full surrender” of Kiev, including blocking NATO membership of Ukraine and promoting demilitarization.
Europe stands firmly behind the position of Ukraine
European leaders gathered behind the vision of Ukraine for peace settlement, which includes strong security warranties, such as weapons supply and a clear way to NATO membership.
French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also expressed a strong opposition to territorial concessions during the weekend statements and strengthened a hard European attitude.
In a joint statement, the leader of the European Commission, France, Italy, Great Britain, Poland and Finland said: “The current contact line should be the starting point of negotiations,” the report says.
