EU warns U.S. peace plan must not grant Russia immunity for war crimes in Ukraine.

EU officials, including Justice Commissioner Michael McGrath, have warned that any peace deal with Russia must not grant immunity for war crimes committed in Ukraine, calling such an outcome a "historic mistake." They oppose the U.S. draft peace plan, which reportedly includes lifting sanctions, rejoining the G7, and economic cooperation, arguing it would reward aggression. The EU insists on accountability, citing over 178,000 alleged crimes and evidence of atrocities like forced child deportations. Despite U.S. reluctance to pursue Putin’s prosecution, EU leaders emphasize justice and victim rights must not be sacrificed for a ceasefire.
