EU says any peace plan must consult Ukraine, Europe, doubts Russian intent
"European leaders are adamant that any plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine will need support from both the European Union and Ukraine amid speculation of a potential United States-backed plan that would heavily favour Moscow's demands and narrative. Arriving for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Thursday, EU foreign policy head Kaja Kallas told reporters that Europeans have always supported long-lasting and just peace, and we welcome any efforts to achieve that."
"European nations have been increasingly concerned that the war may spill into their borders, and there have been numerous accusations and instances of the Kremlin undertaking actions of shadow war, testing the EU and the United Kingdom's mettle with aggressive cyberattacks and drone intrusions. The UK on Wednesday warned it is ready to use military options if necessary after a Russian spy ship that has spent weeks on the edge of British waters directed lasers at British pilots sent to monitor the vessel."
European leaders insist any plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine must have support from both the European Union and Ukraine and reject proposals perceived to favor Russian demands. Reports of a US-brokered plan that would defer to Moscow prompted calls for European consultation, with Europe’s security described as being at stake. Concerns include Kremlin cyberattacks, drone intrusions and other shadow-war actions that could spill across borders. The UK warned it is prepared to use military options after a Russian spy ship directed lasers at British pilots. Russian attacks killed dozens in Ternopil, including children, with many still missing.
