Europe Sends Counterproposal as U.S.-Backed Ukraine Peace Plan Moves to Geneva Talks

European capitals seek changes to the U.S.-approved plan, with Washington preparing outreach to Russia.

Overview

  • European allies have drafted and sent a revised counterproposal to Washington that reworks the 28‑point U.S. plan, according to Spiegel and Bloomberg.
  • EU leaders called the draft a basis requiring further work and reaffirmed that borders cannot be changed by force, with objections reported on territorial recognition, force limits, security guarantees and frozen assets.
  • A high‑level meeting in Geneva on November 23 will gather U.S. and Ukrainian officials with European national security advisers, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed.
  • Kyiv appointed Andriy Yermak to lead its delegation, with talks on settlement parameters to take place in Switzerland, the Ukrainian side said.
  • The White House says a presidentially approved plan exists, and U.S. officials expect to meet Russian representatives very soon, though Russia will not attend the Swiss consultations.
