After a call with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv now sees “many prospects” for peace, pointing to progress made during recent discussions with U.S. officials in Geneva, Switzerland.
Moreover, Starmer is scheduled to lead a call of the “Coalition of the Willing” later on Tuesday, as Ukraine’s allies assess recent diplomacy and coordinate on next steps regarding the amended plan. Zelenskyy said the coalition discussions would address “priority issues for discussion, as well as some of the next steps and contacts.”
These developments come after European nations submitted a revised version of the Trump administration's peace proposal on Monday. Reportedly, this revision removes several provisions from the original U.S. 28-point plan, which had caught Ukraine and European partners off guard last week.
The 28-point U.S.-backed plan, while affirming Ukraine’s sovereignty, proposed freezing territorial lines with Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk recognised as de facto Russian, and limiting Ukraine’s armed forces while formally excluding NATO membership. In return, Russia would commit to non-aggression, halt expansionist actions, accept arms-control measures and allow international oversight of sensitive sites such as the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
The draft raised concerns in Europe that Kyiv might be pressured into concessions seen as aligning with Russian interests. Reuters obtained a copy of the European counterproposal, which several U.S. outlets confirmed with European sources to be accurate. Reportedly, the European revisions aim to strike a balance by removing provisions that Kyiv and several European nations viewed as unacceptable or overly favourable to Russia.
