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.
