KATHMANDU. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday he would work with Europe to set the terms of a possible peace deal to be presented to the United States. The weekend’s emergency talks, which face uncertain American support and come at a crucial moment in Russia’s three-year invasion of Ukraine, brought together 18 allies.
European leaders have rallied behind Kiev after US President Donald Trump’s pressure on Zelensky in front of reporters at the White House earlier in the day raised concerns that Trump was trying to force Kiev into a peace deal. Zelensky said the summit, which began on Sunday, had strengthened their commitment to working towards peace. “We want peace, not endless war,” he wrote on Telegram, a social media platform widely used by Ukrainians.
“In the near future, we European leaders will discuss the lines for a ceasefire that we must achieve and the lines on which we cannot compromise, determine the minimum conditions for negotiations and shape our common position,” he said. “These positions will be presented to our partners in the United States.” Asked about setting minimum conditions for peace talks, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain, France and other countries would work on a plan to stop the war in Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who returned from the summit, told Le Figaro newspaper that France and Britain wanted to propose a partial ceasefire for a month “in the air, sea and energy infrastructure.” Starmer and Macron said they were ready to deploy British and French troops to maintain any ceasefire in Ukraine. “Without any guarantee of American involvement, ‘Europe must bear the burden,’” Starmer said.
