"German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Monday that talks in Geneva between US and Ukrainian negotiators on a 28-point plan put forward by Washington to end the war with Russia had been very positive for European states. "All issues concerning Europe, including those concerning NATO, have been removed from this plan" Wadephul told Deutschlandfunk radio, describing the achievement as a "decisive success.""
""It was clear from the outset, as we have repeatedly said, that any agreement must not be reached over the heads of Europeans and Ukrainians," he added. The original plan contained several elements that were vehemently criticized by both Kyiv and Brussels, including a ban on Ukraine joining NATO."
Geneva talks between US and Ukrainian negotiators addressed a 28-point plan proposed by Washington to end the war with Russia.

Stakeholders emphasized that any agreement must not be reached over the heads of Europeans and Ukrainians. The original plan contained elements strongly criticized by Kyiv and Brussels, notably a proposed ban on Ukraine joining NATO. Revisions to the plan aimed to respond to those criticisms and exclude European and alliance issues from the settlement.
