2025年10月21日，法國總統府發布一份由多位歐洲領導人聯署的關於烏克蘭問題的聲明，內容顯示這些領導人「強烈支持」美國總統川普在烏克蘭問題上的立場。聲明主張俄羅斯與烏克蘭立即停火，並以當前戰線作為談判起點，以避免邊界變動違背國際法。聯署聲明指出，國際邊界不得通過武力改變，並承諾將持續對俄羅斯施壓，同時支持烏克蘭。為進一步支援烏克蘭，這些歐洲領導人計劃利用被凍結的俄羅斯資產，並將在本周晚些時候舉行相關會議，制定詳細方案。聯署此聲明的領導人包括烏克蘭總統澤連斯基、歐盟委員會主席、歐洲理事會主席、法國總統、英國首相、德國總理、義大利總理、波蘭總理、挪威首相、芬蘭總統與丹麥首相等。

此前，川普在社交媒體上提出建議，認為俄烏應立即停火，並按當前戰線「劃界停火，各自撤兵」，尤其在頓巴斯地區，特朗普的方案將大部分土地交由俄羅斯控制。這一立場引發國際輿論關注，美國媒體指出，這是一種以現實戰線為基礎的「局部妥協」方案。

對此，俄羅斯外交部長拉夫羅夫於21日作出回應。他認為「立即停火」的主張無視衝突根源，違背俄美兩國領導人在阿拉斯加會晤中達成的共識。拉夫羅夫強調，俄羅斯「特別軍事行動」的目標正在逐步實現，最終必將取得勝利。同時，他表示將繼續與美國國務卿魯比奧保持電話溝通，以討論相關外交事宜。

此事件反映出俄烏衝突在國際舞臺上的複雜性：一方面，歐洲主要國家和烏克蘭尋求以當前戰線為談判基礎，維護烏克蘭領土完整；另一方面，俄羅斯則強調其軍事目標與此前雙方共識的延續，雙方在停火與談判的條件上存在顯著分歧。這使得即便有國際社會介入協商，烏克蘭和平進程仍面臨重重挑戰。

On October 21, 2025, the French Presidential Palace issued a joint statement signed by multiple European leaders regarding the Ukraine conflict, expressing “strong support” for U.S. President Donald Trump’s position on the matter. The statement called for an immediate ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, using the current frontlines as the starting point for negotiations to prevent any changes to borders by force. It emphasized that international boundaries must not be altered through military means and pledged to continue pressuring Russia while supporting Ukraine. To further aid Ukraine, the leaders plan to utilize frozen Russian assets and will hold meetings later this week to develop detailed plans. Signatories of the statement include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Council, the French President, the British Prime Minister, the German Chancellor, the Italian Prime Minister, the Polish Prime Minister, the Norwegian Prime Minister, the Finnish President, and the Danish Prime Minister.

Previously, Trump had suggested on social media that Russia and Ukraine should immediately cease hostilities and establish a ceasefire along current frontlines, with troop withdrawals, particularly proposing that most of the Donbas region be under Russian control. U.S. media described this as a “partial compromise” approach based on existing lines.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded on October 21, stating that the call for an immediate ceasefire ignored the root causes of the conflict and violated the agreements reached by the U.S. and Russian leaders during their meeting in Alaska. Lavrov emphasized that Russia’s “special military operation” goals were progressing and would ultimately succeed. He also confirmed ongoing communications with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio regarding diplomatic matters.

This situation highlights the complexity of the Ukraine conflict on the international stage: while European nations and Ukraine seek negotiations based on the current frontlines to preserve Ukraine’s territorial integrity, Russia insists on continuing its military objectives in line with previous bilateral agreements. These divergent positions indicate that, even with international mediation, achieving peace in Ukraine faces significant challenges.
