""We are aware of this 28-point plan since last Friday," Merz said. "I had a call with President Trump before I left the country. I told him that we could agree on some of them, but there are others we could not agree, and I told him that we are fully in line with Ukraine, that the sovereignty of this country must not be jeopardized.""
"He said negotiations in Geneva were serious and were being led by national security advisers from the US, Ukraine and Europe. "We do not know what the outcome of these talks could be," Merz said. "At the very end of the day, the sovereignty of Ukraine may not be questioned." Ukraine's European allies have pushed back on the plan, which required Kyiv to give up large areas of territory to Russia and limit the size of its military, as well as other measures."
Europe has known about a 28-point US proposal since last Friday. Negotiations in Geneva are being led by national security advisers from the US, Ukraine and Europe and aim to reach agreement by Thursday. The plan would require Kyiv to cede large areas of territory to Russia and limit the size of its military, prompting pushback from European allies. Ukraine's sovereignty must not be jeopardized by any arrangement. The war has destabilized Europe for almost four years, producing severe attacks on infrastructure and cybersecurity. A Thursday deadline for agreement on all details is widely regarded as unrealistic.
