Reuters. Any plan to end the war in Ukraine will need the support of Ukrainians and Europeans to work, European Union's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Thursday (November 20).
"What we as Europeans have always supported is the long-lasting and just peace, and we welcome any efforts to achieve that. Of course, for any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board," Kallas told reporters as she arrived for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
Upon his arrival, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said that it is Russian President Vladimir Putin who stands in the way of peace in Ukraine.
He also said the Ukrainian people do not want any capitulation. "The Ukrainians... do not want any form of capitulation," he told reporters.
Two people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday (November 19) that a draft U.S. drafted framework to end the war in Ukraine proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons. One source said Ukraine had no role in preparing the draft.
