EUROPEAN officials have said they have been comforted by the outcome of discussions on United States peace proposals for Ukraine.

The plans have been viewed as tilted in Russia’s favour, but officials did not disclose details of the talks at the weekend and warned of a long road to peace in Ukraine.

After Sunday's meeting in Switzerland between US and Ukrainian officials, Finland’s President Alexander Stubb wrote on social media: “The negotiations were a step forward, but there are still major issues which remain to be resolved.”

US President Donald Trump suggested that the process could be moving in the right direction.
