Allies Back Ukraine Peace Plan at G20 Summit
Allies will push to improve the Ukraine peace plan during the G20 Summit in South Africa. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said partners want to strengthen the US proposal. He added that leaders aim to secure progress before global tensions grow further.
Support for the Ukraine Peace Plan
The summit began after President Volodymyr Zelensky shared a stark warning. He said Ukraine faces “one of the most difficult moments in our history.” This worry comes from pressure to accept the proposed peace plan. Leaked details appear more favourable to Russia. As a result, many Ukrainians fear the agreement could weaken their long-term security.
Zelensky held several calls on Friday to build support. He spoke with Sir Keir, as well as leaders from France and Germany. They discussed the situation and explored ways to protect Ukraine’s interests. In addition, they agreed to maintain unity ahead of the G20 discussions.
Global Leaders Prepare for Tough Talks
Sir Keir stressed that Ukraine’s “friends and partners” remain fully committed. He said they will work for a settlement that leads to a “lasting peace once and for all.” However, he noted that any deal must respect Ukraine’s independence. Leaders also want to prevent future conflict in the region.
The G20 Summit takes place without two major figures. Neither US President Donald Trump nor Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend. Their absence could shift expectations. However, officials still hope the conversations will shape the next steps for peace.
Therefore, the summit carries high stakes for Ukraine and its allies. Many believe the outcome could influence the war’s direction. Others hope the meeting will push all sides to seek a fair and stable future. The world now watches closely.
