Costa has summoned some G20 leaders to discuss Ukraine's future
European Council President Antonio Costa called a meeting this Saturday to discuss the future of Ukraine in 12 G20 countries, official sources reported, after learning the details of the White House's proposal to end the war.
"As you know, there are significant diplomatic efforts on the peace plan for Ukraine, excluding the G20 meeting , "the source said.
The invited countries are Spain, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, Canada, Japan, Australia, Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands.
The meeting will take place this afternoon outside the G20 summit in Johannesburg.
US President Donald Trump on Friday gave Ukraine less than a week to respond to whether he accepts the White House peace plan that Kremlin Chief Vladimir Putin views favourably.
Trump's 28-point plan, leaked to the US media, has red lines for Kiev, such as reducing the army to a maximum of 600,000 people or handing over to Russia territories that Moscow has not conquered militarily.
Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed earlier this Friday to Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski that any peace plan for this country must involve Kiev.
Costawill also bring together the Heads of State and Government of the European Union (EU) who will attend the European Union-African Union summit in Angola on 24 November eta 25 to discuss Ukraine.
