Stakeholders are gathering to start negotiations based on a text that the EU believes mostly favours Russian demands.
Senior officials from Ukraine, the EU, the UK, and the US will begin negotiations in Geneva regarding a controversial 28-point peace plan proposed by Washington, which has faced criticism for favoring Russian demands. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will represent the Trump administration, emphasizing that the plan includes input from both Russia and Ukraine. Critics argue the proposal undermines Ukrainian sovereignty by requiring territorial concessions and military reductions, while European allies express concerns about Ukraine’s future vulnerability. As fighting continues in eastern Ukraine, Russian President Putin has expressed support for the plan, suggesting it could lead to a peace settlement if accepted by Ukraine and its allies.
