We welcome the continued US efforts to bring peace to Ukraine.
The initial draft of the 28-point plan includes important elements that will be essential for a just and lasting peace.
We believe therefore that the draft is a basis which will require additional work.

For those reacting in shock to the news, it’s important to remember that both Ukraine and Europe have seen this story before: Steve Witkoff meets with the Russians and comes back with proposals that are essentially copy-pasted from the Kremlin and unacceptable to Kyiv.

- Russia will get the entire Donbas
- US will legally recognise Donbas
- Ukraine won’t be asked to recognise
- US will offer security guarantee to Ukraine (unclear what)
- Ukraine’s army will have limitations
- Russia will get the entire Donbas
- US will legally recognise Donbas
- Ukraine won’t be asked to recognise
- US will offer security guarantee to Ukraine (unclear what)
