Following talks in Geneva, the US peace plan aimed at ending the Russia–Ukraine conflict has been significantly revised — only 19 of the original 28 articles remain. The reduction was implemented after objections from Kyiv and the EU.
According to the Financial Times, the peace plan was seriously revised after representatives from Ukraine and the European Union stated that some demands in the document were unacceptable. According to Alexander Bevz, an advisor to the Head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine, the initial 28-article package no longer exists — some parts were removed, others were fundamentally changed. He emphasized that all of Kyiv's proposals and objections were taken into account.
According to The Washington Post, articles concerning relations between the US and Russia, which were not directly related to the Ukraine conflict, were removed from the updated plan.
Kyiv has demanded that the issue of NATO membership be resolved based on the alliance's internal rules — by consensus of all member states. This change effectively nullifies the proposal in the initial plan to "grant a veto right over NATO expansion."
According to Politico, Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans to discuss the most sensitive territorial issues directly with Donald Trump. The format of this meeting is open—it could be in person or over the phone.
According to Bloomberg, another key article was removed from the updated plan—the proposal to direct approximately $100 billion from frozen Russian assets to a Ukraine recovery fund under US supervision. European officials viewed this positively, as the previous version stipulated that 50 percent of the profits would be given to the US.
