That&#8217;s what the president of America wants. That&#8217;s what we all want.<br \/>&#8220;And so we need to work from where we are to that end. But the principle that Ukraine must determine its future under its sovereignty is a fundamental principle.&#8221;<br \/>Asked how he felt when he read Trump&#8217;s proposals, the PM said: &#8220;It reinforced in me that basic principle.<br \/>&#8220;But we have to work from where we are to the just and lasting peace.<br \/>&#8220;I know that&#8217;s what President Trump wants, and he has been working to that end, but we must reiterate the principle that matters about Ukraine must be determined by Ukraine.&#8221;<br \/>Starmer is currently in South Africa ahead of the G20 summit, which gets under way tomorrow.<br \/><b>For the latest developments at the summit, you can follow our Politics Hub here&#8230;<\/b><br \/>The EU&#8217;s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has been speaking further to reporters about the US peace deal for Ukraine.<br \/>She said that Russia has no right to receive any concessions from Ukraine, and that the terms of any peace agreement are for Ukraine to decide.<br \/>Both Europe and Ukraine want peace but can&#8217;t simply give in to aggression, Kallas said.<br \/>As a reminder, one part of the 28-point peace plan says the&nbsp;entirety of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk would be recognised as &#8220;de-facto Russian&#8221;, while current frontlines in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia would be frozen, with recognition of Russian gains.<br \/>This morning, Kallas said the EU would support any peace plan for Ukraine as long as it brings a lasting and just peace, and if it involves Ukraine and the EU.<br \/>According to Reuters news agency, Ukraine is under more pressure from the US to agree to a peace deal than in previous negotiations.<br \/>Citing two sources familiar with the matter, Reuters highlights two factors:&nbsp;<br \/>As a reminder, this is what the 28-point plan entails:&nbsp;<br \/>The Ukrainian leader has just given his remarks after a joint call with the leaders of Germany, France and UK (see 12:25).<br \/>&#8220;We discussed the plan for peace for Ukraine and all of Europe,&#8221; he says.<br \/>&#8220;We value the efforts of the United States, President Trump, and his team aimed at ending this war.<br \/>&#8220;We are working on the document prepared by the American side. This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace.&#8221;<br \/>He adds they are &#8220;coordinating closely&#8221; to make sure &#8220;the principled stances are taken into account&#8221;.<br \/>&#8220;We coordinated the next steps and agreed that our teams will work together at the corresponding levels,&#8221; he says.<br \/>We just brought you the views of European leaders after their call earlier today &#8211; see the post below this one.<br \/>We now have the comments of another prominent figure from the continent.<br \/>Donald Tusk &#8211; now the Polish prime minister, but formerly the president of the European Council &#8211; has just shared a more forthright view on the peace plan.<br \/>&#8220;All the decisions concerning Poland will be taken by Poles,&#8221; he starts off by saying, reminding &#8220;nothing about us without us&#8221;.<br \/>Then he says: &#8220;When it comes to peace, all the negotiations should include Ukraine.<br \/>&#8220;Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.&#8221;<br \/>During their call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy just now, European leaders have reaffirmed that they would continue to &#8220;safeguard vital European and Ukrainian interests&#8221;.<br \/>That&#8217;s according to a readout from the call, provided by the German government. The call, which included the German chancellor, the French president and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, took place at around 11am.<br \/>Among other things, the leaders insisted that the current frontline would be the starting point for any peace talks and that the Ukrainian armed forces would need to &#8220;remain capable of effectively defending Ukraine&#8217;s sovereignty&#8221;.<br \/><b>For context:&nbsp;<\/b>The leaders were discussing the US-proposed peace plan, which would <b>hand Russia control <\/b>over eastern Ukrainian regions, that it hasn&#8217;t conquered yet. It also requires Ukraine to <b>reduce its army<\/b> to 600,000 troops.<br \/>The readout said that they &#8220;welcomed the US efforts to end the war in Ukraine&#8221; and in particular &#8220;the commitment to Ukraine&#8217;s sovereignty and the willingness to provide Ukraine with solid security guarantees&#8221;.<br \/>Any agreement affecting Europe, the EU or NATO would need to be approved by European partners or a consensus of the allies, the statement added.<br \/>Britons buying cocaine on a Friday night could be inadvertently funding Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine, investigations by the National Crime Agency show.<br \/>The NCA has uncovered a billion-pound money laundering network is operating in 28 towns and cities across the UK.<br \/>Couriers collect &#8220;dirty&#8221; cash generated from drugs, firearms and immigration gangs, which is then converted into cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<br \/>Officials say these illicit transactions have a direct link to &#8220;geopolitical events causing suffering around the world&#8221;.<br \/><b>Watch:&nbsp;<\/b><b>Network used British lorries and bank in Kyrgyzstan to fund Russia&#8217;s war<\/b><br \/>According to the NCA, the enterprise even purchased a bank to facilitate payments that supported Russia&#8217;s military efforts and helped sidestep sanctions.<br \/>Security minister Dan Jarvis said this &#8220;has exposed the corrupt tactics Russia used to avoid sanctions and fund its illegal war in Ukraine&#8221;.<br \/>To date, 128 arrests linked to the network have been made, with more than \u00a325m in cash and digital assets seized.<br \/>We can now bring you a condensed overview of all 28 points from the peace plan proposed by the Trump administration.<br \/>It covers a range of issues &#8211; from territorial concessions to reconstruction programmes, the future Ukrainian relationship with NATO and the EU, and educational reforms in both Ukraine and Russia.<br \/>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has once more commented on the latest updates on the US-proposed peace plan at his daily media briefing.<br \/>He said Zelenskyy&#8217;s &#8220;freedom to make decisions is shrinking as he loses territory&#8221; due to what he called Russian progress on the battlefield.<br \/>&#8220;Effective work by the Russian Armed Forces should convince Zelenskyy and his regime to negotiate and do so now rather than later,&#8221; Peskov added.<br \/>However, the Kremlin has not yet officially received the 28-point plan from the US and &#8220;nothing substantive is being being discussed&#8221; &#8211; in line with what we heard from the foreign ministry earlier (see our post at 10.47).<br \/>Peskov added that Russia wants peace talks to be successful and will therefore not publicly discuss the points.&nbsp;<br \/>Be the first to get <span>Breaking News<\/span><br \/>Install the Sky News app for free<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/rss\/articles\/CBMimwFBVV95cUxOLVEydzAtUVRMa0hqMlBjTmhFQ1J0Ykt6Rnp0QVMwTHA2SjlkZVh2X1NMRk1fT2ZieWtUTGNIek5BTEtSZktsSGl4ckU1TFFOc3Z4TzdBalg3eWpOVmpGR0hwOTBSckdpRjl3UlZ0UzVxTy02MkJoV0dyOW1iNkRZVXRuZWF6RTQ5R2YwbTRuSi1rQzBjLTV1S2pGbw?oc=5\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 28-point US peace plan, hatched during &#8220;secret&#8221; talks, has been revealed and presented to Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
