Trump's Plan for Ukraine Reduced from 28 to 19 Points
The Financial Times reports, citing its sources, that the U.S.-crafted plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine has been revised during negotiations held in Geneva, reducing the points from 28 to 19. It remains unclear which specific provisions have been removed, but the changes occurred following feedback from Kyiv and European partners who highlighted the unacceptability of several demands.
Ukraine has reminded that its 'red lines' include limitations on troop numbers and territorial concessions, including the transfer of Donbas. The European side has backed this position, emphasizing its exclusive right to make decisions regarding the freezing of Russian assets and the removal of EU-imposed sanctions.
Adviser to the Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine, Oleksandr Bevza, stated that 'the 28-point peace plan, as everyone was familiar with it, no longer exists.' He noted that some points have been removed and others altered, and that Kyiv's comments were left unanswered.
Earlier, the White House announced that during the talks held in Geneva on November 23, the U.S. and Ukraine had developed a 'refined and enhanced' plan to cease hostilities. Both parties reiterated that any future agreement must safeguard Ukraine's sovereignty and ensure a sustainable and just peace.
