Germany's Chancellor Merz announced that Ukraine has presented a revised peace plan proposal to the US, including potential territorial concessions. European leaders have been collaborating with Ukraine to develop a peace plan that addresses Kyiv's interests, amid concerns that the US might push for a Russian-led solution. Merz, Macron, and Starmer emphasized to Trump the importance of considering European interests in any peace agreement. Trump acknowledged discussing Ukraine "in pretty strong words" but remains undecided about attending a meeting in Europe. Zelensky has expressed willingness to discuss the deal's sticking points with Trump directly, particularly the territorial issue, which remains a major obstacle due to Russia's demands for Ukraine to withdraw from certain regions.
