Several terms of Ukraine peace plan unacceptable for Europe, Polish Prime Minister says

"Any peace settlement on Ukraine needs to strengthen, not weaken, our security," Tusk says.

According to the Polish Prime Minister, EU leaders who participated in an informal meeting in Angola held a serious discussion of the peace talks on Ukraine, agreeing that the 28 points proposed by the US and Russia need to be revised, as some of the proposals are unacceptable.

He also stresses that it is vital that no agreement weakens the security of Poland and Europe as a whole.

Tusk also stresses that a peaceful settlement should not benefit the aggressor, and said that EU leaders are inclined to move forward on what to do with frozen Russian assets.

"It cannot be the case that Europe ends up paying for Russia’s actions," he says.

He acknowledges that some countries remain unconvinced, but he believes leaders are much, much closer to an agreement on this issue of using frozen assets to help Ukraine now and during its recovery.

The Polish Prime Minister adds that negotiations remain delicate as European leaders seek to keep the US on their side.

"Europe must be united. We will do everything we can so the US is on the same side. We should talk [act towards Russia] as Nato, together, and not as individual states," he adds.

New US peace plan for Ukraine
