Ahead of the G7 summit in Evian, France, U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a working session focused on conditions for potential peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. The session centers on setting parameters related to territorial disputes and on maintaining existing sanctions against Moscow. European leaders are set to play a central role in shaping the discussion, particularly as they continue to shoulder much of the military and financial support for Ukraine following a pause in U.S. bilateral military donations.
Separate reporting describes that the summit agenda includes consideration of a “five-point” peace framework developed by the E3 group—Britain, France and Germany—together with Ukraine, following recent discussions in London. German government sources cited in one account say Trump will review that framework as part of the diplomatic effort.
The sources also describe European proposals for a negotiation format that would involve Ukraine, Russia, the United States and Europe together, reflecting an effort to define the structure of any future talks.
