E3 Leaders Push for Direct Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks

The European leaders lauded Zelenskiy for his latest appeal to resolve the hostilities through diplomatic engagement. Their joint support focuses on two non-negotiable pillars: securing an immediate cessation of violence and establishing legally binding security guarantees for Kyiv. While Moscow has rejected these overtures, the E3 powers maintain that sustained diplomatic pressure remains the primary tool for restoring regional stability. The meeting signals a unified Western front as the frontline situation grows increasingly volatile under sustained aerial bombardment.
