Western leaders say Ukraine plan needs work, Trump signals scope for changes
European leaders are trying to balance praise for Trump with support for Kyiv.
JOHANNESBURG/KYIV, Nov 22 (Reuters) - European and other Western leaders said on Saturday a U.S. peace plan was a basis for talks to end Russia's war in Ukraine but needed "additional work", part of Western efforts to eke out a better deal for Kyiv before a Thursday deadline.
Meeting on the sidelines of a G20 summit, European and other Western leaders scrambled to come up with a coordinated response to U.S. President Donald Trump's demand for Ukraine to accept his 28-point peace plan with Russia by Thursday.
"The initial draft of the 28-point plan includes important elements that will be essential for a just and lasting peace," said the leaders of the EU, Germany, France, Britain, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, Finland, Italy, Japan and Norway.
"We believe therefore that the draft is a basis which will require additional work," they said in a statement.
