Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, expressed support for peace talks on Ukraine being led by U.S. President Donald Trump, saying Europe now sees “a starting point” for a plan following several days of negotiations. President von der Leyen emphasized that Ukraine and EU member states must be involved in any future decisions on how a peace agreement is carried out. “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine, nothing about Europe without Europe, nothing about NATO without NATO,” she said. MEPs have emphasized that any peace agreement must uphold Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and right to choose its own alliances and path, including potential EU membership. They will not accept any plan that legitimizes Russia's aggression or undermines European security.
