European leaders have raised fresh concerns over the United States’ proposed roadmap to end the ongoing war in Ukraine, insisting the document still requires significant refinement before it can be considered workable.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the leaders, in a joint statement released at the G20 summit in South Africa, acknowledged that the draft includes key elements necessary for a “just and lasting peace,” but they warned that several provisions, especially those relating to borders and Ukraine’s military capacity remain deeply troubling.

Their reaction followed President Volodymyr Zelensky’s recent alarm that Kyiv is facing “one of the most difficult moments in our history,” amid pressure to accept a plan many believe tilts in favour of Moscow.
US President Donald Trump has given Ukraine until November 27 to accept the 28-point proposal, while Russian President Vladimir Putin has already described it as a potential foundation for a final settlement.
The statement, signed by leaders from Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, the UK, Norway, and top EU officials, stressed that no peace agreement should legitimise territorial changes achieved through force.
They also rejected proposed restrictions on Ukraine’s armed forces, saying such limitations would expose the country to renewed aggression.
According to the signatories, any components involving the EU or NATO must have full approval from member states before being implemented.
