Britain said on Monday there were several possible proposals on the table for a possible Ukraine ceasefire, after France floated a proposal for a month-long initial truce that could pave the way for peace talks, APA reports citing Reuters.

European countries, led by Britain and France, are looking at options for a peace proposal including Ukraine after last week's Oval Office rupture between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"There are clearly a number of options on the table," Prime Minister Keir Starmer's spokesman said. "I'm just not getting into a running commentary on the options."

White House national security adviser Mike Waltz, when asked about the weekend activities of Europe rallying around Zelenskyy, told reporters: "So, we welcome Europe stepping up for Europe, but they have to also invest in the capabilities to do so."
