Ukraine’s allies from Europe, Canada, and Japan have raised concerns over a US-proposed plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, stating that the draft will need further work. While recognizing the plan contains key elements essential for a fair and lasting peace, these countries highlighted worries about border changes and restrictions on Ukraine’s military.
In a joint statement signed at the G20 summit in South Africa by leaders from Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, Germany, Norway, and two senior EU officials, the allies emphasized that any lasting peace must respect existing borders and cannot be imposed by force. They also expressed concern that limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces could leave the country vulnerable to future aggression. Implementation of aspects involving the European Union and NATO would require approval from those organizations’ members.
Security representatives from the UK, France, Germany, the US, and Ukraine are scheduled to meet in Geneva on Sunday to continue discussions. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine described the current situation as one of the toughest moments in the country’s history amid pressure from the US to accept the plan, which many see as favoring Moscow.
