Ukraine is set to share a revised 20-point peace proposal with the United States on Tuesday as Kyiv seeks stronger backing from European allies and pushes back against pressure to accept a settlement seen as favoring Moscow. The updated plan follows urgent talks in London between President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and the leaders of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, aimed at reinforcing Ukraine’s negotiating position as the war approaches its fourth year.
Zelenskiy confirmed that no agreement has been reached on the most contentious issue—territorial concessions to Russia. He reiterated that Ukraine will not surrender any of its land, even as U.S. officials signal a desire to move quickly toward a compromise. Moscow has insisted on territorial gains as part of any ceasefire, a condition Kyiv firmly rejects.
After meeting with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Antonio Costa, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Brussels, Zelenskiy emphasized that any peace deal must uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty and ensure long-term security guarantees. European leaders also stressed the importance of using frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, pushing the EU to advance stalled proposals.
The U.S.-backed ceasefire plan, drafted by negotiators under President Donald Trump, has raised concerns in Europe that Kyiv could be pressured into accepting terms that may destabilize the region. Despite ongoing talks—including discussions in Moscow and Miami involving Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner—no breakthrough has been reached.
Zelenskiy said the coming days would focus on security, air-defense support, and financial commitments essential to Ukraine’s resistance, as Russian forces intensify attacks on the eastern front and energy infrastructure. He described the diplomatic push as crucial, noting that Ukraine needs coordinated support from both the U.S. and Europe to secure a “just and lasting” peace.
