The US peace plan to end the full-scale war in Ukraine has been reduced by several points. In particular, the provision regarding $100 billion in frozen Russian assets has been removed, Bloomberg informs.
According to people familiar with the matter, EU officials expressed optimism about the removal of the provision on allocating $100 billion in frozen Russian assets from the latest version of the peace agreement.
It had envisaged the US receiving 50% of the profits and directing the unused frozen assets to a US-Russia investment fund.
Previously, Bild reported that Trump’s idea regarding Russia’s frozen assets particularly irritated German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. He stressed that the new US-Russia investment instrument would also allow Putin to profit from the war.
Today, on November 24, the Financial Times wrote that the US peace plan had been cut by almost a third. As a result, the document now contains 19 points instead of 28.
Reputable outlets reported that the original plan consisted of 28 points, some of which were unacceptable to Ukraine.
To adjust the provisions of the document, Ukrainian officials met with US counterparts in Geneva. After the talks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there were signals that Ukraine’s position had been heard.
According to Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi, Ukraine and the US agreed on an updated version of the peace plan. He emphasized that particularly sensitive issues would be discussed personally by Presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump.
