Quote: "In Anchorage, President Trump opted to not push for a ceasefire. As a substitute, Putin introduced a so-called 'peace proposal' that’s nothing however the aggressor’s dictate: Ukraine is, for instance, anticipated to give up the japanese a part of its territory, past what Putin achieved militarily. Such a 'peace' is unacceptable."

Particulars: Mathernová confused that the EU has been clear and agency in its place from the outset: peace have to be based mostly on the ideas of worldwide legislation – on full respect for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

"No illusions, no compromises with aggressors," Mathernová emphasised.

She added that the presence of European leaders in Washington along with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday will probably be a transparent sign that "Europe stands with Ukraine united and decided. It won’t tolerate a peace that’s merely one other phrase for capitulation".

"Along with the US, we should push Putin in the direction of an actual ceasefire after which actual peace – one thing that didn’t occur in Anchorage," the EU ambassador wrote.

Background:

• French President Emmanuel Macron mentioned following a Coalition of the Prepared assembly on Sunday that Russia is providing Ukraine a "peace" that may imply capitulation.
• On 18 August, Zelenskyy will meet Trump in Washington. A number of European leaders will accompany the Ukrainian president to the US. Nevertheless, in keeping with media experiences, Zelenskyy will first maintain a bilateral assembly solely with Trump, adopted by a joint assembly with the European leaders.
