LONDON — European and Ukrainian officials pushed back Thursday against a new plan being proposed by the U.S. administration to end the war in Ukraine, saying that any deal should respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and not involve the country’s “capitulation.”
Kyiv’s main European partners in particular said they should be involved in any proposals for the future security of Ukraine and Europe, and their remarks Thursday suggested they had not been consulted or even briefed on details of Washington’s plan. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not commented publicly since news of the plan leaked.
