US military officials, at a meeting with EU officials in Kyiv, did not agree with the proposal to increase pressure on Russia to achieve peace in Ukraine. This is reported by the Financial Times newspaper, citing sources. “As the meeting was drawing to a close, EU ambassadors stated that instead of reaching a deal, it is now necessary to increase pressure on Russia. The Americans said that the proposed terms are the best that Ukraine can hope for,” the report says. According to one European diplomat, the situation for Kyiv and the EU is turning out “even worse than we thought.” On November 20, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko published Donald Trump’s 28-point peace plan. According to the Financial Times, Ukrainian officials criticized the document and consider it unacceptable without amendments, although Washington expects Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to sign it by November 27. The plan includes renouncing NATO, new borders, a buffer zone, restrictions on the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the use of frozen Russian assets.
