Trump has demanded Ukraine accepts a ‘peace plan’ that would force it to give up territory to Russia and make other painful concessions
In case you missed Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s reaction to the call yesterday with western allies including France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, and the UK’s Keir Starmer, here is a post from my colleague Jakub Krupa:
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has posted his reaction to the call too, thanking the leaders for their “principled support for Ukraine and for all our people”.
He says the leaders “appreciate the efforts of the US, president Trump and his team aimed at ending this war,” and are working on the US document.
“This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace,” he says, adding – again, pointedly – that the four leaders want to ensure that Ukraine’s “principled positions are taken into account.”
