It has been revealed what the leaders of Britain, France, and Germany are planning.

European leaders want to use their meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump at the G7 summit to persuade him to support new peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.

This was reported by Bloomberg.

According to the agency’s sources, the UK, France, and Germany believe that the situation in the war has recently shifted in Ukraine’s favor.

In their view, this creates an opportunity for negotiations that will go beyond the approaches that took shape after Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska last year.

What European countries are proposing

The leaders of the so-called E3 group are calling for an immediate ceasefire.

They propose starting negotiations based on the current front line, as well as providing Ukraine with reliable security guarantees, including the possible deployment of multinational forces.

These proposals were outlined in a joint statement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following talks in London.

What Europe Hopes to Achieve

As Bloomberg notes, the E3 countries see an opportunity to restore Europe’s more significant role in the negotiation process. This comes as U.S.-led negotiations have stalled, and Washington is increasingly focused on its confrontation with Iran.

According to the agency’s sources, European leaders want Trump to support their proposals and increase pressure on Russia.

If successful, this could pave the way for new talks as early as next month involving representatives from Europe, the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia.

New sanctions against Russia

Bloomberg sources also reported that the United Kingdom and the European Union are working on a new package of sanctions against Russia, which could be imposed in the coming weeks.

At the same time, the agency’s sources noted that these plans could still change.

Separately, European countries are striving to prevent a repeat of last winter’s situation, when the Russian military launched massive strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leaving part of the population without electricity and heating.
