Details: Costa said he had spoken with Zelenskyy "to get his assessment of the situation".

"A united and coordinated EU position is key in ensuring a good outcome of peace negotiations – for Ukraine and for Europe," he added.

Background:

• European leaders had expressed concerns about the 28-point plan after it was handed to Kyiv last week, before drawing up their own version. Costa subsequently invited EU leaders to a special meeting on Monday 24 November dedicated to Ukraine and the "peace plan" put forward by Donald Trump's team.
• Following the talks in Geneva on Sunday 23 November, the United States and Ukraine announced that they had produced an "updated" document on peace.
