To be honest, I don't think Europe is even trying to get Russia to agree to a ceasefire. If it did, the language used wouldn't be so strong. Russia simply can't accept a ceasefire when pressured like this. If Europe wanted results, there wouldn't be such public pressure. This is probably a play to either get more sanctions or the favour of Trump by making Russia look bad.
Also, I don't think Ukraine has much to gain here. The so-called negotiations will probably end up being a nice show at best and something that makes Ukraine look bad to Trump at worst (everyone keeps trying to manipulate Trump somehow because that kind of seems to be the thing with him). Basically there's a bunch of flashy nothing going on, I think.
