Reuters published the text of a European counter-proposal for a 28-point peace plan for Ukraine, developed by E3 (Great Britain, France, and Germany), in response to the proposals from the US. The proposal aims to serve as a basis for negotiations to settle the conflict.
Main highlights of the proposal:
- Confirmation of Ukraine's sovereignty.
- A full non-aggression agreement between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO.
- Dialogue between Russia and NATO on security.
- Security guarantees for Ukraine.
- Restriction of the Ukrainian army.
- Conditions for EU membership and preferential access.
- Reconstruction of Ukraine and compensation.
- Reintegration of Russia into the global economy.
- Protection of linguistic minorities.
- Negotiations on territorial exchanges.
- Humanitarian committee.
- Elections in Ukraine.
- Sanctions for violating the agreement.
- Ceasefire and monitoring under US supervision.
Notes:
- Point 3 of the US plan has been deleted (regarding NATO's non-expansion).
- NATO fighter jets will be deployed in Poland.
- Restarting the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant under the supervision of the IAEA.
- Ukraine is committed not to retake occupied territories by military means.
- The agreement provides for legal bindingness, with a Peace Council chaired by Donald Trump to guarantee enforcement.
