  • US plan would require Kyiv to give up land, accept curbs to military, sources say
  • French minister: peace cannot mean capitulation
  • US army delegation is visiting Kyiv

European countries pushed back on Thursday against a U.S.-backed peace plan for Ukraine that sources said would require Kyiv to give up more land and partially disarm, conditions long seen by Ukraine’s allies as tantamount to capitulation.

European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels were careful not to comment in too much detail about a U.S. peace plan that has not been made public. But they made clear they would not accept demands for punishing concessions from Kyiv.

Moscow played down any new U.S. initiative.

A U.S. Army delegation … was in Kyiv [and] met Ukraine’s top military commander Oleksandr Syrskyi late on Wednesday. Syrskyi said he told them the best way to secure a just peace was to defend Ukraine’s airspace, extend its ability to strike deep into Russia and stabilise the front line.

      Shouldn’t there be billionaires who reveal the plan? There must be some patriots.

          The smaller billionaires must know that the big ones will crush them. Some must be aware of disadvantages.

            No. It really doesn’t work that way at all. They are not loyal to anyone but themselves and money. There are 0 “good ones”, please understand this
