Europeans propose changes to US Ukraine plan with higher army cap, NATO-style security pact -doc
The European revision raises Ukraine's army cap to 800,000 and seeks NATO-style security guarantees, while demanding frozen Russian assets fund reconstruction, countering US concessions to Russia.
- European leaders circulated a counter-proposal ahead of November 23 talks in Geneva with Ukraine and the United States, The Washington Post reported.
- Amid calls for a common European approach, European leaders criticized the United States' recently unveiled 28-point peace plan and drafted their own alternative proposal.
- European drafters propose returning the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, Kakhovka dam, Kinburn Spit and 'free passage' on the Dnieper river, and the draft secures no restrictions on the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
- On November 22, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said the state faces a hard choice and vowed to defend its interests, clarifying the agreement text is not final amid Donald Trump's ultimatum by November 27.
- By contrast, the United States-Russian Federation draft reportedly requires Ukraine to cede parts of Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Donetsk and Lugansk regions, reduce its army, and refuse North Atlantic Alliance membership.
