Any Ukraine peace plan must involve Ukraine and EU, Spain says

Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on Thursday any peace plan for Ukraine cannot be done without Ukraine and the European Union.

A peace plan must also guarantee the existence of a sovereign and democratic Ukrainian state, he told reporters in Brussels before a meeting with his European Union counterparts.

A draft U.S. peace plan seen by Reuters on Wednesday would see Kyiv giving up territory. A source said Ukraine had had no role in preparing the draft.
