Europeans Join Kyiv Peace Push as US-Led Efforts Intensify

  • European security advisers arrived in Kyiv for talks on peace initiatives, intensifying a US-led diplomatic effort to end the nearly four-year war.
  • Ukraine is working with European partners on security guarantee arrangements, involving a multilateral framework, Ukrainian forces, European troops in Ukraine, and US assistance.
  • International partners agreed on an $800 billion economic support package for Ukraine over the next decade, covering reconstruction, stability, and a growth booster, tied to EU reforms.
  • President Zelenskyy plans meetings with a "Coalition of the Willing" (30 countries) to discuss ending the war on acceptable terms, with leaders meeting in Paris next week.
  • Recent Russian attacks include a missile strike on Kharkiv killing two, and a drone attack on Mykolaiv targeting critical infrastructure, causing power outages.

Why It Matters: Ukraine sees intensified diplomatic efforts, significant economic aid, and security guarantees amidst ongoing Russian attacks.
