Ukraine talks in London downgraded: Kyiv rejects Trump's "final offer"
ai generated text
Peace talks on Ukraine in London were downgraded after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio pulled out, raising concerns about Western unity. Ukraine still sent a senior delegation, rejecting a U.S. proposal that included controversial terms like denying NATO membership and recognizing Crimea as Russian. A deadly Russian drone strike during the talks highlighted the urgency of reaching a ceasefire.
Ukraine's territorial integrity and European aspirations are very strong requirements for Europeans.
The Ukraine Peace Talks meeting with Foreign Ministers today is being postponed. Official-level talks will continue.
Talks continue at pace and officials will meet in London tomorrow. This is a critical moment for Ukraine, Britain and Euro-Atlantic security.
Despite President Putin's promise of a 30-hour pause in fighting, I can confirm that Defence Intelligence [an MoD unit] has found, and I quote, 'no indication that a ceasefire on the frontline was observed over the Easter period'.
As far as we understand, it has not yet been possible to reconcile positions on some issues, which is why this meeting has not taken place yet.
We continue our contacts with the Americans. We have no contacts with the Europeans; we have no contacts with the Ukrainians, either, although President [Vladimir] Putin remains open to such contacts in the interest of reconciliation.
There is nothing new to mention or discuss. Ukraine will not recognise the occupation of Crimea.
There is nothing to talk about. This violates our constitution. This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine.
In Ukraine, we insist on an immediate, full and unconditional ceasefire.
We will discuss ways to achieve a full and unconditional ceasefire as the first step toward a comprehensive settlement and a just and lasting peace.
The path to peace is not easy, but Ukraine has been and remains committed to peaceful efforts.
We arrived in London together with Defence Minister Rustem Umerov and Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga. Despite everything, we will work for peace.
The only document shared in Paris was a list of potential options for discussion and feedback.
