European leaders to discuss Trump's peace plan at G20 summit – media
That is according to Bloomberg, Ukrinform reports.
The meeting will be attended by European Council President Antonio Costa, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and the prime ministers of Italy and the United Kingdom, Giorgia Meloni and Keir Starmer.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who has earned a reputation as a Donald Trump whisperer, is also expected to join.
During the meeting, European leaders also hope to hold a phone call with the U.S. president, who declined to attend the G20 summit in South Africa.
"If this all sounds familiar, it’s because it is. The last-minute diplomacy on display is reminiscent of the frantic efforts that unfolded in August when EU leaders sought to get Trump's ear before and after his summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. They also eventually managed an impromptu meeting in the White House a few days later," the article reads.
Trump confirmed on Friday that his administration had set next Thursday as the deadline for Ukraine to agree to the White House's plan to end Russia's war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, following conversations with U.S. Vice President Vance and U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, said that Ukraine, the United States, and Europe would work at the advisers' level to ensure that the path to peace becomes genuinely workable.
