Europe voiced alarm at US-Russia proposals for ending the war in Ukraine and insisted that Kyiv and its allies must have a central role in shaping any peace deal.
“What we as Europeans have always supported is a long-lasting and just peace and we welcome any efforts to achieve that,” the European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said on Thursday. “For any plan to work, it needs to have Ukrainians and Europeans on board,” she told reporters before a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
