A senior European minister has warned that lasting peace in Ukraine cannot be achieved without Europe’s direct involvement in negotiations. The statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to find a resolution to the nearly two-year-long conflict.
Speaking at an international forum, the minister emphasized that any settlement reached without European participation risks being fragile and unsustainable. “Europe cannot be sidelined in talks about security and stability on its own continent,” the minister stated, underscoring the need for the EU and its member states to play a central role in shaping the future of the region.
The comments come as global powers, including the United States and China, continue discussions about possible pathways to end the war. However, some European leaders fear that excluding them from key negotiations could lead to agreements that do not fully address the security concerns of Ukraine or its neighbors.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have reiterated their stance that any peace deal must include a complete Russian withdrawal from occupied territories and security guarantees for Kyiv. The Kremlin, on the other hand, insists that its demands must also be considered, including Ukraine’s neutrality and limitations on its military alliances.
With tensions still high and no immediate breakthrough in sight, European nations are expected to push for a stronger role in diplomatic efforts to secure a just and lasting peace.
