Joint statement by Italy, France, the UK, Germany, Finland, and Poland with Ursula von der Leyen. Russia speaks of a “Nazi leaflet” and accuses the EU of “necrophilia.”

On the eve of the summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, scheduled to take place in Alaska, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedric Marz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk signed a declaration in support of Ukraine, together with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The document welcomes “President Trump’s commitment to ending the killings in Ukraine and ensuring a just and lasting peace,” reiterating that only a combination of diplomacy, military aid, and pressure on Russia can bring results.

Moscow reacts harshly
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the statement “another Nazi leaflet” and accused Brussels of supporting “terrorists in Kiev.” According to Moscow, the link between the Ukrainian presidency and the EU is “political necrophilia.” Zakharova contested the fact that the proposed ceasefire does not provide for an end to arms supplies to Kiev.

The crux of the ceasefire
European leaders reiterate that a diplomatic solution must protect the security interests of Ukraine and Europe, guaranteeing Kiev the right to choose its own destiny. Meaningful negotiations, they stress, can only take place with a reduction in hostilities and in accordance with the principle that international borders should not be changed by force. The current front line is indicated as the starting point for negotiations.

Alaska summit still being finalized
Sources cited by CNN do not rule out Volodymyr Zelensky’s participation in an event related to the summit, probably after the bilateral meeting between Trump and Putin. The exact location and agenda are still being finalized. According to the New York Times, Putin has secured a face-to-face meeting with Trump without Zelensky present, an opportunity that Moscow sees as a chance to end the war on its own terms and weaken the Western alliance.

Kiev’s moves
Zelensky thanked Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson for his “very tangible” support, recalling the allocation of $4 billion for Ukrainian defense. He also held talks with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, congratulating him on the agreements with Armenia brokered by Trump. The Ukrainian leader accused Moscow of deliberate attacks on energy infrastructure, denouncing the attempt to block routes crucial to Europe’s energy independence.
