UK, European leaders join forces to draft Ukraine peace plan to take to US

After Trump’s berating of Zelenskiy in the Oval Office raised fears of the US pulling support for Ukraine and imposing a peace plan negotiated with Russia, Europe is trying to ensure Kyiv is not squeezed out of any talks.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Sunday European leaders had agreed to draw up a Ukraine peace plan to present to the United States, a vital step for Washington to be able to offer security guarantees that Kyiv says are essential to deter Russia.
