The White House’s draft peace plan for Ukraine has drawn immediate pushback from European officials, who warned that no agreement can be negotiated without Kyiv’s consent—and that peace cannot come at the price of Ukrainian capitulation, Wall Street Journal reported on November 20.

According to US officials, the Trump administration has prepared a 28-point proposal that would require Ukraine to surrender territory in the east it still controls, cap the size of its military, and limit the long-range weapons it receives. The plan would also exclude a European “reassurance force” that EU states have offered to send to Ukraine under a future settlement.

European capitals said they were neither involved nor briefed during the drafting process. Several senior diplomats said they are now preparing to use their channels in Washington to push the administration away from what they view as terms overly favorable to Moscow, according to Wall Street Journal.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stressed that any deal must be backed by Ukraine and its European partners, noting that no concessions have been made by Russia. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot added that Europe will not support any outcome that resembles a Ukrainian capitulation.

Kyiv has repeatedly rejected territorial concessions, arguing that such terms would only allow Russia to regroup and launch new offensives. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said any agreement must include firm security guarantees.

Ukrainian officials maintain that ceding key defensive positions in the Donbas—where Russia’s forces have inched forward at enormous cost—would leave the country more vulnerable to future attacks, Wall Street Journal wrote.

Europe, now providing most of Ukraine’s budget and military financing, is working on a plan to unlock up to $200 billion in immobilized Russian assets in Belgium as a loan for Kyiv. Officials emphasized that their financial and political commitments make it essential that Europe plays a central role in shaping any credible peace process.

Previously, it was reported that the European Union has a firm and uncomplicated roadmap for achieving peace in Ukraine—one built on two pillars: weakening Russia and supporting Ukraine. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas reiterated this approach, European Pravda reported from Brussels.

I read the peace plan. Sounds a lot like a US business deal to me. USA gets 100B dollars for their participation. They get 50% of revenue from investments. They also get a mineral extraction deal. In addition. Russia gets their assets unfrozen. The assets are added in a monetary USA-Russia development font. Russia is also re-admittet to G8. Mean while, Europe pays 100B dollar to Ukraine development.

This all sounds like absolute bullshit to me. But it doesn't stop here.

Ukraines sovereignty has to be confirmed. Ukraine must withdraw soldiers from Donetsk and Luhansk territories which Ukraine still holds. The frontline is frozen in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, and Russia gets to keep that territory. A limit on 600.000 soldiers will be implemented to ukraines armed forces. Ukraine must also add to their constitution that they won't ever become a member of NATO. Ukraine must have an election no later than 100 days from when the memorandum is in effect. These points does not respect the first point: Ukraines sovereignty must be respected, and it will also require a national vote to change the constitution.

Russia has to withdraw troops from other Ukrainian oblasts that are not mentioned. Meaning Kharkiv, and Denipro.

Ukraine gets reliable security guarantees. Now, this one has me almost laughing. Because some of these points are VERY specifik. But this one is so incredibly vague, and it is one point that Ukraine has said they won't compromise.

All in all, the deal is: let's reward the USA for doing absolutely nothing to help Ukraine, and negotiating Ukraine surrender on behalf of Ukraine even though Ukraine never asked them to and certainly not their surrender. Let's also reward Russia for starting the war, and naturally, let's have Europe pay the entire bill because: Fuck Europe that's why!
