The United States and Ukraine have reached an agreement on a “refined framework” peace plan following negotiations held in Geneva. The document is the result of intensive consultations and reflects Washington’s attempt to accelerate the diplomatic process aimed at resolving the war between Russia and Ukraine.

A key change is the significant reduction of the original plan: while the initial U.S. proposal consisted of 28 points, the updated version now contains only 19. This indicates that both sides sought to remove the most sensitive or vague provisions in order to increase the plan’s realism and improve its chances of further discussion with international partners.

However, despite this progress, several elements have sparked serious debate and criticism within Ukraine and among European allies. Some provisions reportedly involve potential territorial concessions, as well as limitations on the development or use of certain capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

These points are viewed as risking the undermining of Ukraine’s sovereignty and defense capabilities. Several European capitals, according to the same sources, have expressed concerns that such compromises could weaken not only Kyiv but also the broader architecture of European security.

Nevertheless, the U.S. initiative remains the most comprehensive diplomatic proposal currently on the table, and Washington hopes that the updated version will help shift the situation “from a war of attrition to a political process,” while preserving Ukraine’s core interests.
