The EU has reportedly rejected the Ukraine peace deal drafted by the White House, putting forward its own set of conditions for a potential agreement.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made the announcement on Sunday as US officials were discussing Washington’s proposal with EU and Ukrainian representatives in Geneva, Switzerland.

The US had submitted its plan to both Moscow and Kiev earlier this week. The contents of the document have not been officially disclosed to the public.

Media outlets have claimed that, among other things, it calls upon Kiev to withdraw troops from the part of Russia’s Donbass it still controls, downsize its military, and shelve its NATO aspirations in exchange for Western security guarantees.

In a statement published on X, von der Leyen specifically rejected all those conditions. “We have agreed on the main elements necessary for a just and lasting peace and Ukraine's sovereignty,” she stated, adding that Ukraine’s borders cannot be changed “by force” and that no limitations can be placed on Kiev’s military.

The European Commission president also demanded that the EU play a central role “in securing peace for Ukraine”and that Kiev be allowed to join it.

On Saturday, Bloomberg reported that the EU was seeking to essentially rewrite the US plan by disguising major changes to it as “constructive updates.” The bloc was also reportedly trying to “buy Ukraine more time” and postpone the American deadline.

Trump had said earlier that Kiev has to accept the proposal by Thursday, November 27. Vladimir Zelensky said on Friday that Ukraine was facing a choice between accepting “28 difficult points” or the risk of losing its “key partner” and enduring a “hard winter.” 

Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that Moscow had received the American plan, adding that it could serve as “the basis of a final peace settlement” but has yet to be discussed “in detail.”

Members of US Congress criticise Trump's new "peace plan"

BY Mariya Yemets, Roman Petrenko (Ukrayinska Pravda)

 

A number of lawmakers from both parties in the US Congress have criticised the draft peace agreement proposed by the Trump administration to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Details: Senator Mitch McConnell, former Republican leader in the Senate, said it appears that people around Trump are more focused on appeasing Putin than securing a sustainable peace.

"Putin has spent the entire year trying to play President Trump for a fool. If Administration officials are more concerned with appeasing Putin than securing real peace, then the President ought to find new advisors. Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America's interests. And a capitulation like Biden's abandonment of Afghanistan would be catastrophic to a legacy of peace through strength," McConnell stated.

Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, co-chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the proposal looks more like "Putin's plan".

"What the US needs to do is to put pressure on Putin, to provide those long-range weapons, to put secondary sanctions on the companies that are fuelling Russia's war machine, and bring Putin to the table to really negotiate. We should not be representing Russia in this deal," she stressed.

Republican Roger Wicker, the chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee,noted that the 28-point plan has serious flaws and that he is "highly sceptical" about its ability to deliver peace.

"Ukraine should not be forced to give up its lands to one of the world's most flagrant war criminals in Vladimir Putin. The size and disposition of Ukraine's armed forces is a sovereign choice for its government and people.

==================

 

THE POINT IS THAT MANY GOP SENATORS AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS GET RICH ON THE US MILITARY COMPLEX. ONE SENATOR EVEN SAID "THERE WAS NO REASON TO JOIN CONGRESS EXCEPT  FOR THE INSIDER TRADING ENRICHMENT PROGRAM..."

MEANWHILE, MORE THAN 1,200 UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS DIE DAILY... UNTIL A PEACE PLAN ACCEPTABLE TO RUSSIA IS PUT IN PLACE... AND WE'RE NEARLY THERE...

 

==================

 

Washington is “very close” to helping broker an end to the Ukraine conflict, US President Donald Trump’s envoy Keith Kellogg said in an interview with Fox News on Saturday, adding that Trump is determined to bring it to a close.

Washington presented Kiev last week with a new proposal for ending the conflict with Moscow, and urged Ukrainian officials to respond by Thursday. The proposed 28-point plan reportedly includes multiple clauses repeatedly refused by Kiev and its Western European backers, such as Ukraine giving up on its NATO aspirations, a withdraw from parts of Donbass still under Kiev’s control, and limiting the size of its armed forces.

US talks on the proposed peace plan began Sunday in Geneva with Ukrainian and Western European officials. A Russian delegation is not expected to take part, but consultations with American counterparts should be expected “very soon,” according to Reuters.

“In the military, we always say the last 10 meters to an objective are always the hardest to get to. We’re at the last two meters, we’re almost there” the envoy said.
