A major diplomatic call on Wednesday saw U.S. President Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz discussing the next steps toward a negotiated peace in Ukraine.

The leaders reviewed the stalled frontlines and Kyiv’s push for a wartime election within the next three months. Trump urged Ukraine and Russia to return to mediation channels under what the White House called “strategic calm.”

European leaders maintained that Ukraine’s sovereignty remains non-negotiable.

Ukraine’s government, meanwhile, is preparing legal frameworks to conduct elections — despite constitutional hurdles during wartime.
