Europe Proposes Limited Ceasefire in Ukraine After U.S.-Ukraine Diplomatic Rift

Following tensions between President Trump and President Zelenskyy, European leaders push for a one-month ceasefire to de-escalate the conflict.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have proposed a one-month ceasefire in Ukraine, focusing on halting air, sea, and energy infrastructure attacks but excluding ground combat.
  • The proposal emerged after a diplomatic fallout between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, raising questions about continued U.S. support for Ukraine.
  • European leaders, including Germany and the EU, emphasize the need for stronger European defense capabilities and a united approach to securing peace in Ukraine.
  • Trump's administration has suggested that territorial concessions by Ukraine may be necessary for a peace agreement, a stance criticized by European allies.
  • The ceasefire plan aims to create space for diplomatic negotiations, with Europe taking the lead while seeking eventual U.S. backing to ensure its success.
