European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has expressed cautious optimism about peace in Ukraine, following a key meeting in Washington involving the US President, the Ukrainian President, and EU leaders.
In a post on X, Metsola said the meeting “could shift the momentum” towards a peace process that is “difficult, but not impossible.” She highlighted that the involvement of global powers offers a realistic path forward.
She stressed that lasting peace must include strong security guarantees for Ukraine, not just a pause before a future war. “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” she wrote, echoing a long-standing EU stance.
“The EU has always fought for peace—we know the cost of war,” Metsola added, reaffirming the bloc’s continued support for Ukraine.
Yesterday's important meeting in Washington could be the game changer for a path to peace in Ukraine that we have all wanted and worked for.
