Ukraine seeks new negotiators to 'end the war in one day' promise

Ukraine is pushing for a fresh approach to peace negotiations, seeking "new dynamics" that involve a different format and more active participation from Europe. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha told the BBC that the country desires a new format for peace talks and increased European involvement.

This call for a renewed diplomatic push comes as progress in the negotiations has been minimal in recent months. Former U.S. President Donald Trump had repeatedly pledged to end the conflict in Ukraine within a single day prior to his 2024 re-election, a promise that has not materialized.

“

We would like to have a new dynamic. This means a new format for the peace talks and more active participation from the European side.

Meanwhile, Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide commented that Europe and the United States cannot resolve the conflict alone. He indicated a need for external involvement, even suggesting himself as a potential candidate to facilitate the process. The push for new negotiators highlights the ongoing challenges in achieving a resolution to the protracted conflict.

Europe and the United States cannot do this alone and want to bring in someone from outside.
