  • 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.

    I am missing the connection between “release the files” and “make better politics”, especially because Kamala Harris was already in a position where she could have done something (she was Biden’s vice, let’s not forget it).

    What make you think that after 4 years as Vice president, doing basically nothing and being aknowleged as the worst one, she would have been better as President ? Just because she could have released the Epstein’s files ? Do you relly thing that there are only Republican’s names in these files ?

      My argument is not that Kamala would be better but that with the files, Trump and his policies could have been prevented. To me this means that the current policies are wanted.
