US-Ukraine talks: Why are European leaders opposing Trump's peace plan?
"But the so-called 28-point plan pushed by the Trump administration has alarmed Ukraine and its European allies, who see it as a capitulation to Russian demands, particularly territorial concessions and limits on the size of Ukraine's military. Trump had set a November 27 deadline for Ukraine to accept his peace plan, but after pushback from European leaders, Washington appears to have softened its stance, with Trump saying the plan did not represent a final offer for Ukraine."
"The talks are an attempt to reconcile the contentious draft peace plan, as Kyiv and its European allies want Kyiv's long-term security interests protected. Representatives from Ukraine, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the European Union will join top US officials, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, to discuss how to end the war Europe’s deadliest since World War II. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said there will also be a Russian presence."
Top US, Ukrainian and European diplomats are meeting in Geneva to negotiate a 28-point peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump to end the nearly four-year war with Russia. The plan has alarmed Ukraine and its European allies because it appears to demand territorial concessions and limits on the size of Ukraine's military. Trump set a November 27 deadline for acceptance but later said the plan was not a final offer, creating diplomatic room. Representatives from Ukraine, Germany, France, the UK and the EU will join senior US officials, with Ukraine indicating Russia will also be present.
