The fast-moving developments on Trump’s Ukraine peace deal are dominating the G20 summit in South Africa, as European leaders scramble to put together a counter-proposal to the US-Russia 28-point plan and reinsert Ukraine into these discussions.<\/p>\n

European countries are now working up proposals to put to President Trump ahead of his deadline of Thursday to agree a deal.<\/p>\n

Ukraine is in a tight spot. It cannot reject Washington outright – it relies on US military support to continue this war – but neither can it accept the terms of a deal that is acutely favourable to Russia, requiring Ukraine to give up territory not even occupied by Moscow and reducing its army.<\/p>\n

Overnight, the UK government has reiterated its position that any deal must deliver a “just and lasting peace”.<\/p>\n

Keir Starmer calls for growth plan at G20<\/span>
\n <\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The prime minister, who spoke with E3 allies President Macron of France, Chancellor Merz of Germany and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on the phone on Friday, is having more conversations today<\/a><\/strong> with key partners as they work out how to handle Trump and improve this deal for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

One diplomatic source told me allies are being very careful not to criticise Trump or his approach for fear of exacerbating an already delicate situation.<\/p>\n

Instead, the prime minister is directing his attacks at Russia<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“There is only one country around the G20 table that is not calling for a ceasefire in Ukraine and one country that is deploying a barrage of drones and missiles to destroy livelihoods and murder innocent civilians,” he said on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

“Time and again, Russia pretends to be serious about peace, but its actions never live up to its words.”<\/p>\n

On the Trump plan, the prime minister said allies are meetin on Saturday “to discuss the current proposal <\/strong>on the table, and in support of Trump’s push for peace, look at how we can strengthen this plan for the next phase of negotiations”.<\/p>\n

Strengthening the plan really means that they want to rebalance it towards Ukraine’s position and make it tougher on Russia.<\/p>\n

“Ukraine has been ready to negotiate for months, while Russia has stalled and continued its murderous rampage. That is why we must all work together with both the US and Ukraine, to secure a just and lasting peace once and for all,” said the prime minister.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to coordinate closely with Washington and Kyiv to achieve that. However, we cannot simply wait for peace.<\/p>\n

“We must strain every sinew to secure it. We must cut off Putin’s finance flows by ending our reliance on Russian gas. It won’t be easy, but it’s the right thing to do.”<\/p>\n

Europeans hadn’t even seen this deal earlier in the week, in a sign that the US is cutting other allies out of negotiations – for now at least.<\/p>\n

Starmer and other European leaders want to get to a position where Ukraine and Europe are at least at the table.<\/p>\n

There is some discussion about whether European leaders such as Macron and Meloni might travel to Washington to speak to Trump early next week in order to persuade him of the European and Ukrainian perspective, as leaders did last August following the US-Russian summit in Alaska.<\/p>\n

But Sky News understands there are no discussions about the PM travelling to Washington next week ahead of the budget.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
