EU Leaders Unite on Ukraine Security Guarantees

Published on 8.10.25

  European Union leaders have agreed that Ukraine's involvement is crucial for a peaceful resolution in Ukraine, with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, UK PM Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasizing the need for active diplomacy, support to Ukraine, and pressure on Russia to end its illegal war. The EU welcomes US President Donald Trump's efforts to stop the killing in Ukraine and achieve peace and security for the country, but their proposed terms differ from Russian President Vladimir Putin's plan, which seeks significant territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is urged to be involved in any discussions about ending the war, with a ceasefire necessary before other steps are taken. A meeting between Trump and Putin is planned to discuss a peace deal in Alaska, and the EU will convene an emergency meeting to discuss next steps.
