The path to peace in Ukraine “cannot be decided without Ukraine”, European leaders have said, as US President Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks on Friday.
In a joint statement, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, with the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Finland and the European Commission, said that the current line of contact between Russia and Ukraine could only be a “starting point of negotiations”.
“We remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force.”
The statement comes a day after Mr Trump announced that he would meet Mr Putin in Alaska on Friday, as he seeks an end to a conflict he had promised he could finish on his first day in office.
The US president had earlier suggested that any peace deal was likely to involve “some swapping of territories”, with reports suggesting this could involve Ukraine giving up its Donetsk region.

Euros Fret, Oh Dear Won’t Anyone Think of
“Those guys are faaags!” Ambassador Spicoli
What a joke. Euroweenies have changed their own borders by force oodles of times. So has the USA.
The EU needs to get all of its armies into Ukraine to help push out Russia.
This is not a NATO issue.
Sure.. except the little twerp Zelenskiy pulls out of every 'negotiation' where he has to make concessions.
Right… how that been working out so far?
OK, cool.
But no more money or equipment from the U.S. Not one more dime. ‘K?
Then stop buying Russian oil and put your money where your mouth is.
From AI:
How much Russian oil are European countries buying?
European Union member states spent €21.9 billion on Russian oil and gas in the third year of the war, a figure that surpasses the €18.7 billion in financial aid sent to Ukraine in 2024, despite efforts to reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels.
This spending reflects a continued reliance on Russian energy, with EU imports of Russian fossil fuels remaining largely unchanged in volume, dropping only 1% year-on-year, even as sanctions have been implemented.
The EU’s continued purchases, including a rise in Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports by 9% year-on-year, highlight the ongoing challenge of achieving complete energy independence from Russia.
PEOPLE, I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU. When you have to have it, you have to have it. It’s a matter of starvation. Oil moves food to shelves and there is nowhere else to get it that do not already have customers. There is no oil sitting around looking for a customer.
It Is Scarce. And it will get more scarce.
That was before world war two.
You really want to return to the age of never ending wars over land?
Well. The Muscowites don’t want peace unless they can absorb Ukraine
I believe the meeting between President Trump and President Putin will involve many more issues other than Ukraine
When will all the women and children raped by Turd World savages they shoveled into their countries get justice?
They need to hurry up and recognize a Palestinian state. That will bring about world-wide peace.
“...European leaders...”
When you get slapped, you’ll take it and like it. It’s NOT for you or the dancing queen (Z) who will decide a path to peace in Ukraine. There is NO seat at the table for globohomo’s.
Ukraine will be partitioned to the satisfaction of Russia and the USA. End of story.
“When will all the women and children raped by Turd World savages they shoveled into their countries get justice?”
While the kids are certainly innocent, it was THE WOMEN of Europe, and the US, that created the majorities needed to repopulate their countries. In fact, I don’t know of any cultures run by men-only that have DIRECTLY decided to self-delete (as opposed to self-deleting by starting stupid wars). (and if you doubt me, just think of a typical British woman, any British woman for that matter...except, maybe, Thatcher)
Warmongering ungreatful leaches.
POTUS Trump will propose and if Europe objects, the US pulls out of NATO and Putin is turned loose.
