EU, European Union

At the summit on March 20-21, EU leaders plan to adopt a statement calling on Russia to demonstrate real political will to end the war in Ukraine.

This was reported by the Czech news agency ČTK, which has a draft of the summit's final document, Censor.NET reports.

The draft states that the EU will reaffirm its support for a "comprehensive, just and lasting peace based on the principles of the UN Charter and international law."

In addition, EU leaders will welcome the agreements between Ukraine and the United States reached during a meeting in Saudi Arabia on March 11, including a proposal for a ceasefire, humanitarian efforts, and intelligence sharing and security assistance.

"The European Council calls on Russia to demonstrate a genuine political will to end the war," the draft document says.
