Efforts to revive Ukraine peace negotiations in London encountered challenges after a high-level U.S. official cancelled his visit, highlighting differences between the United States, Ukraine, and Europe.
Officials from the United States, Ukraine, and Europe met in London for talks aimed at restarting the peace process regarding the conflict in Ukraine. However, the absence of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio led to the cancellation of a wider meeting with European foreign ministers, reflecting differing perspectives among the participants.
The meetings came amid recent comments from U.S. President Donald Trump, who indicated that continued U.S. involvement would depend on progress being made. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff had previously presented proposals in Paris, which diplomats said included significant compromises from Ukraine.
British officials said that despite Rubio’s absence, technical discussions continued and were described as substantive. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to supporting efforts for a just and lasting peace.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated that the parties involved would need to make mutual concessions for the negotiations to succeed. His comments suggested that changes in territorial control could be part of a potential resolution, though no details were confirmed officially.
Ukrainian officials expressed concerns about some elements of the proposals. Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko emphasised that Ukraine would not engage in territorial negotiations without a full ceasefire. Kyiv reaffirmed its position on maintaining sovereignty and resisting any proposal that could lead to a prolonged or unresolved conflict.
Talks between European and Ukrainian representatives continued in parallel. British ministers met with Ukrainian officials and the U.S. envoy to discuss further steps. Andriy Yermak, Chief of Staff to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, noted Ukraine’s participation in the discussions and reiterated its support for diplomatic efforts.
Key points of contention remain, including issues related to territorial integrity, the status of Crimea, and potential sanctions relief for Russia. Diplomats stated that negotiations are ongoing and no formal agreements have been reached.
