Europeans propose changes to US Ukraine plan with higher army cap, NATO-style security pact -doc
BRUSSELS, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Europeans have submitted a modified version of the United States' peace plan for Ukraine that pushes back on proposed limits to Kyiv's armed forces and territorial concessions, according to a document seen by Reuters on Sunday.
A European proposal meant to rival President Trump’s 28-point peace plan calls for Ukraine to keep its military forces and leaves the door open for the country to join NATO, according to leaked details.
Ukraine and its European allies will insist that discussions with Russia on any territorial swaps can only take place once the war ceases along the current line of contact, according to people familiar with a counter-proposal that will be presented to the US later today in Switzerland.
The document states Ukraine must cede land it currently controls. The plan closely resembles the list of demands repeatedly outlined by Vladimir Putin.
