Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is set to join an emergency videoconference of European Union leaders on Monday, where discussions will focus on the latest developments in the war in Ukraine. The call is scheduled for 11:00, with Mitsotakis participating at 11:30 for a dedicated briefing on the evolving diplomatic landscape.

The meeting comes one day after European officials presented their own proposal in response to the 28-point plan put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump as a framework for ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Europe has emphasized that any peace agreement must fully respect Ukraine’s national sovereignty, marking a clear red line in its stance.

The European plan aims to adjust several key elements of the U.S. proposal to ensure Ukraine retains adequate military capability and receives strong security guarantees similar to those provided by NATO. These adjustments are intended to safeguard Ukraine’s long-term defense and territorial integrity.

Meanwhile, optimism is growing among American and European officials. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio said that Washington, European partners and Kyiv have significantly narrowed their differences, noting that the draft framework for ending the war is closer to consensus than at any point so far. He added that further refinements will be necessary to satisfy both Ukraine and the United States, and that final approval will ultimately rest with national leaders, as several issues remain unresolved.

A similar sense of cautious optimism is emerging in Kyiv. According to U.S. and Ukrainian sources, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may travel to Washington later this week for further discussions with Trump, particularly on territorial matters that remain central to any final agreement.
