After a clash in the White House, European leaders and Kyiv are jointly developing a peace plan. They want to present it to US President Donald Trump, who continues to insist on an "immediate" ceasefire and has increased pressure on Ukraine by putting military aid on hold.

French President Emmanuel Macron is at the White House meeting with President Donald Trump as the U.S. is seeking an end of the war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called his meeting at the White House last week "regrettable" on Tuesday and said he is ready to pursue peace under President Donald Trump's leadership.

Sir Keir Starmer also says he believes the US president wants peace, despite last week's Oval Office row with Ukraine's leader.

France's defence minister said intelligence it provided to Ukraine was unaffected by the U.S. suspension of intelligence sharing with Kyiv, but warned that Washington's halt in military aid would harm Ukraine's operations against Russia's invasion.

US President Donald Trump has long said he would negotiate a quick end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. In pursuit of a deal, the US has engaged with the Kremlin while pressuring Kyiv to support the peace initiative.
