Zelenskyy says European allies ready to share their response to Trump’s peace plan with US on Tuesday.
Ukraine’s European allies have agreed to increase their support for Ukraine and put more economic pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin as they say efforts to end Moscow’s “barbaric” war are at a “critical moment”, according to Downing Street.
The statement from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he would share Ukraine’s version of a 20-point plan on Tuesday, as both Ukraine and Russia continue to refine a 28-point plan put forward by US President Donald Trump last month to end the war.
“The mood of the Americans, in principle, is for finding a compromise,” Zelenskyy told reporters in London after a meeting with the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom on Monday. “Of course, there are complex issues related to the territory, and a compromise has not yet been found there.”
The London meeting kicked off a busy two days of diplomacy for Zelenskyy as European allies scramble to show their support for the Ukrainian leader as he continues to face public criticism from the US president.
Trump said on Sunday he was “disappointed” with Zelenskyy, accusing him of not having read the latest proposals backed by the US.
