European leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, support Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in calling for a freeze on the current front line as a basis for peace talks with Russia. However, Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, reject this idea, insisting on a comprehensive resolution to the conflict. US President Donald Trump has also expressed a desire for a ceasefire but has faced criticism for allegedly pressuring Zelensky to concede territory. The situation remains tense, with ongoing discussions about a potential meeting between Trump and Putin.
