President Volodymyr Zelensky, together with several European
leaders, is working to amend key provisions of the US-proposed
peace plan ahead of the November 27 deadline,
Azernews reports, citing RBK-Ukraine and
Bloomberg.
According to the report, European partners are attempting to
secure additional time for Ukraine to refine a new ceasefire
framework with Russia, as concerns grow over the implications of
the plan put forward by US President Donald Trump.
The proposed 28-point plan envisions Ukraine recognizing Crimea,
Donbass and other occupied territories as part of Russia. It also
requires Kyiv to abandon its pursuit of NATO membership, although
it leaves room for deeper economic cooperation with the EU. In
exchange, Moscow would receive partial sanctions relief and the
chance to rejoin an expanded G8 format.
Other provisions include placing the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power
Plant under international oversight, dividing its energy output
between Russia and Ukraine, and reducing the size of the Ukrainian
army. Reconstruction efforts would rely partly on frozen Russian
assets, though mechanisms for this remain undefined.
Critics argue that the proposal heavily favors Moscow and risks
undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty, prompting Kyiv and European
leaders to push for significant revisions before any further steps
are taken.
