A peace plan handed to Zelensky and a widely reported draft text have forced Ukraine’s European backers into responding
The surprise submission of a peace plan to a weakened Vladimir Zelensky by US envoy Steve Witkoff on Thursday, together with the overnight publication of an alleged draft text, has forced Kiev’s European backers into what Western media is widely calling an ’emergency’ response.
Zelensky held ‘emergency’ calls with French President Emmanuel Macon, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friederich Merz, while European Council President Antonio Costa has this morning openly admitted that the EU has not been told about the plan.
