European Leaders Huddle With Zelensky in London to Scrutinize Revised U.S. Peace Plan

Kremlin demands for "radical" changes plus Trump's public pressure intensify scrutiny of territorial and security terms.

Overview

  • Germany's Friedrich Merz, France's Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer are meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky in London to review the latest U.S. proposal.
  • U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators spent three days in Florida revising the text after an initial draft drew criticism for favoring Moscow, with revised details still undisclosed.
  • Trump said he was disappointed Zelensky had not read the proposal, while adviser Yuri Ushakov insisted Washington must make radical changes to address Russia's territorial demands.
  • Zelensky maintains that handing over the remaining Donbass without a nationwide referendum would be illegal, and European leaders signal they will press for protections for Ukraine.
  • Fighting continues with new Russian drone strikes killing at least one person and injuring others, and Ukrainian officials report infrastructure damage including a key dam roadway.
