European leaders have sent United States President Donald Trump a proposal outlining the territorial concessions Ukraine may be willing to make to end its war with Russia. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that any peace agreement must be acceptable to the Ukrainian president and people, warning against forcing Kyiv into a deal. Trump has expressed impatience with Ukraine and its European allies, urging a swift settlement and suggesting that Russia holds the upper hand in negotiations. Meanwhile, Ukraine demonstrated its military capabilities with a large-scale drone attack inside Russia, as talks enter a critical phase with further discussions planned among international leaders next week.
