Ukraine deserves a just peace, and Moscow must be held fully accountable for its crimes.

The EPP Group, the largest political faction in the European Parliament, has identified five key elements that must be included in any agreement to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. This was stated on the EPP Group’s account on the social media platform X.

The EPP Group’s statement notes that Ukraine deserves a just peace, and Russia must be held fully accountable for its crimes and the damage it has caused.

According to the EPP Group, any agreement on Ukraine must be reached with European involvement, include reliable security guarantees for Kyiv, and comply with international law.

A peace treaty must also respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and restore its national borders. Furthermore, the agreement must be acceptable to the Ukrainian people.

As a reminder, European representatives will take part in the next round of negotiations between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia, though European leaders have not yet decided on a candidate (or candidates) to serve as a negotiator with Russia.

Dictator Vladimir Putin long resisted having Europe at the negotiating table to discuss the terms for ending the war against Ukraine. But on November 12, U.S. President’s special envoys Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner, while in Moscow, ultimately reached an agreement with him on this matter. New consultations on Ukraine will take place in a four-party format.
