Plenković: Ukraine and the European Union should be involved in peace negotiations
Prime Minister Andrej Plenković is attending special meeting of the European Council in Brussels today, which will discuss two topics - strengthening European defense and the situation in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will join the European leaders. The Prime Minister reiterated that peace negotiations cannot be held without Ukraine and that a final solution cannot be sought without the European Union. "The final solution must not reward Russia as an aggressor, Ukraine must not be forced into a semi-capitulation and the loss of its territories, and the current policy of the West and the European Union in this context must not be humiliated," he stressed.

Plenković: Peace must be just and sustainable, and negotiations without Ukraine are a "no go"Advocating for a principled approach to achieving a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine, which will respect the principles of international order and law, the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, Prime Minister Plenković warned at the International Security Conference in Munich that just a pragmatic approach to stopping military operations, which would turn into a frozen conflict and which would leave the annexed and occupied territories under the Russian constitutional system in the long term, would be a failure not only of Ukraine but also of the international community and everything it represents. He said that peace negotiations without the participation of Ukraine are a "no go", and without the presence of Europe are completely politically unacceptable, considering the transatlantic partnership, alliance within NATO and bilateral relations. 15.02.2025.
