European countries are engaging with Ukraine on a new ceasefire proposal amid continued hostilities with Russia. The initiative, confirmed by multiple European diplomats, aims to incorporate previous peace efforts while promoting U.S. involvement.

A prominent European diplomat highlighted the inclusion of a peace board chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump, designed to oversee the implementation process, as a mechanism to maintain Washington's pivotal role in the talks.

The proposed plan, reported by Bloomberg News, also demands return of deported Ukrainian children, prisoner exchanges, and proposed security assurances, including a robust military for Ukraine and financial support for reconstruction.
