European leaders warn against Ukraine ceasefire without peace deal, official says
European leaders have signaled their readiness to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, emphasizing that a ceasefire without a preceding peace agreement could be dangerous. This commitment emerged from a meeting in Paris, convened to address the ongoing conflict and explore avenues for resolution.
The Paris meeting, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, was prompted by concerns over US President Donald Trump's plans for bilateral peace talks with Russia, which would exclude key European allies and Ukraine. European leaders present included representatives from the UK, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, NATO, the European Commission, and the European Council. The EU official stated they agreed with President Trump on a "peace through strength" approach, but seek to ensure European involvement in the peace process and offer support to Ukraine.
