Ukraine's Revised Peace Plan Faces Complex Diplomacy

Ukraine is set to present a revised peace plan to the U.S. amid ongoing tensions over Russia's demands. Discussions with European leaders in London highlighted the complexities of territorial compromises and military support. The U.S., Europe, and Ukraine aim for a balanced resolution.

Amidst mounting pressure to resolve the conflict with Russia, Ukraine is poised to present a revised peace plan to the United States, following high-level talks in London with European leaders. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy engaged with the UK, France, and Germany to recalibrate the US-backed proposal seen as leaning towards Moscow's interests.

This diplomatic effort, involving leaders like UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, focused on using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine's reconstruction. They also sought U.S. security guarantees to prevent further Russian aggression, emphasizing the need for a just peace that respects Ukraine's territorial integrity.

Despite U.S. ceasefire talks led by Trump's team, the framework remains contentious as European powers navigate a delicate balance between supporting Ukraine and engaging in constructive dialogue. Zelenskiy remains firm on not conceding any territory, as the conflict continues to strain Ukraine's defenses and resources.
