National security advisers from France, Britain and Germany are expected to meet in Geneva today with representatives of the EU, the US and Ukraine to discuss the proposed peace plan, BNR reported.
Moscow will not send its own representatives, but the US delegation will have meetings with the Russians very soon.
The US side will be represented by Washington's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Ukrainian delegation will be led by President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser - Andriy Ermak.
World leaders have said that the US peace plan in Ukraine needs "additional work" as they try to find a coordinated response to the proposal. This became clear during the G20 summit in South Africa.
Participants in the meeting of the world's 20 most developed economies welcomed the US efforts but expressed concern about "proposed restrictions on Ukraine's armed forces".
World leaders at the G20 adopted a declaration at the start of their summit in South Africa despite opposition from the US, which is boycotting the two-day talks due to a diplomatic rift with the host country. The declaration calls for "just and lasting" peace in Ukraine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the "occupied Palestinian territories".
On the sidelines of the summit in Johannesburg, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the leaders of the "Coalition of the Willing" will hold a video conference meeting on Tuesday to discuss the US plan to end the conflict in Ukraine. Macron expressed doubts that if the peace plan "does not have elements of deterrence, then the Russians will break their promise and attack again".
He said many points of the controversial plan cannot be implemented without the approval of Kiev's European allies. Proposals such as the use of frozen Russian assets to help Kiev and Ukraine's accession to the European Union can only be determined by the EU, Macron added, specifying that Kiev's European allies want peace, but one that takes into account the security interests of Ukraine and other countries in Europe.
In a phone call with President Trump, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stressed that Europe must be part of any process to end the war in Ukraine.
In a joint statement, the leaders of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden said:
"Russia has so far not committed to a ceasefire or to any steps leading to peace…Solutions that respect Ukraine's sovereignty and will bring greater security and stability to the country and Europe have our full support".
