Overview

  • France and Britain are finalizing a peace plan for Ukraine that includes a proposed truce and broader security guarantees.
  • The initiative aims to address strained relations between the U.S. and Ukraine following the suspension of U.S. military aid to Kyiv.
  • Diplomats suggest the truce could last one month, covering air, sea, and energy infrastructure attacks, but not ground fighting.
  • French and British leaders have held discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to align on the plan.
  • Conflicting reports emerged about a possible joint visit to Washington by Macron, Starmer, and Zelensky, with France later denying such plans are currently in place.
