Ukraine peace plan revised after US–Ukraine talks in Geneva
Washington narrows the Ukraine peace plan while Kyiv insists on full sovereignty
The Ukraine peace plan promoted by Washington has been sharply reshaped after the Geneva negotiations between the United States and Ukraine. The original 28-point framework presented by Donald Trump’s team has been trimmed to 19 points, although—according to officials cited by the Washington Post—no final agreement has yet emerged on this revised version.
Oleksandr Bevs, adviser to Andriy Yermak and a member of the Ukrainian delegation, wrote that the initial 28-point proposal “no longer exists in the form everyone saw; some elements were removed, others reworked. No concern raised by Ukraine has gone unanswered”. His remarks reinforce Kyiv’s firm demand that the Ukraine peace plan must fully respect national sovereignty and avoid binding territorial concessions to Russia.
European amendments widen the gap
Despite a separate European draft circulating over the weekend, the core of the dialogue has remained anchored to the American document. European capitals offered technical suggestions and crafted their own counterproposal, largely based on the US structure but diverging on sensitive points, especially territorial concessions to Moscow—explicit in the US version, absent in the European one.
Brussels also softened language on NATO boundaries, did not exclude Kyiv’s potential future membership, and raised the proposed size of Ukraine’s armed forces from 600,000 to 800,000. On sanctions, the European draft ties the lifting of measures to Russia’s signature of the final agreement and allocates frozen Russian assets for Ukrainian compensation.
Moscow reacts coolly to Europe but cautiously welcomes US approach
The Kremlin has dismissed the European counterproposal as “at first glance unconstructive” and “not workable for Russia”. Yuri Ushakov, foreign-policy adviser to Vladimir Putin, struck a notably different tone regarding the American initiative, claiming that “not all, but many points appear acceptable”. He warned, however, that the broader debate around the Ukraine peace plan is rife with speculation and insisted that Moscow trusts only information received directly from Washington.
Ushakov suggested that the United States is expected to make direct contact with Russia soon to discuss the details, though he acknowledged that no concrete arrangements have yet been made.
