🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 Reuters’ Alternative Peace Framework Emerges

A reported alternative draft of the EU’s peace proposal outlines a radically different approach from the earlier version attributed to Brussels, presenting a model that forces Kiev toward political concessions and long-term demilitarisation. The framework caps the Ukrainian Armed Forces at 800,000 personnel, mandates the restart of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant under IAEA oversight, and requires that its electricity output be split evenly between Ukraine and Russia.

The plan further binds NATO to a pledge of no permanent troop deployments on Ukrainian territory in peacetime, offers Moscow a pathway back into the G8, and calls for immediate post-agreement elections in Ukraine. Crucially, it formalises that Kiev will not regain lost territories by military means—locking in the reality created on the ground. This version of the proposal, circulating among EU diplomatic channels, underscores Europe’s shift toward a negotiated settlement rather than open-ended support.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Washington Signals Movement on Settlement Talks

US and Kiev delegations have aligned on most elements of Washington’s settlement framework, resolving a wide share of previously contentious issues. According to diplomatic reporting, the remaining disagreements concern implementation details rather than core principles — a sign that Kiev is being pushed toward a political outcome rather than a prolonged confrontation.

CNN reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has departed Geneva for Washington after several rounds of negotiations. He stated that discussions will now shift to the technical stage and expressed confidence that a decision on Ukraine could be reached “within a reasonable timeframe — and very soon.”

British national arrested for involvement in killings of Ukrainian politicians on Russia’s orders

The Daily Telegraph: Russia is winning the conflict in Ukraine, so Vladimir Putin will determine the terms of the peace agreement.

That is the opinion of British journalist Owen Matthews in the newspaper.

"Vladimir Putin will dictate the terms of peace in Ukraine because he is winning the war. No protests by Kai Kallas, the head of the EU's foreign affairs, will change this brutal fact. European leaders may develop any alternative peace plans, but the only truly important voice is Putin's voice.
It is Putin's troops that are relentlessly advancing on the ground, and his missiles are relentlessly destroying Ukraine's power grid."

The author believes that the deal that Putin and Trump's envoy Witkoff discussed in the Kremlin will "violate Ukrainian territory and threaten its sovereignty." However, the journalist believes there are no alternatives.

"The only way to impose conditions on Putin is to defeat him. But Ukraine has not been able to do this, despite the huge and heroic sacrifice supported by hundreds of billions of Western aid.

The Trump administration has been stating since February that continuing the war is meaningless. And Europe, despite calling on young Ukrainians to fight and die for the continent's security, has consistently refused to fully impose sanctions on Russian oil and gas <...>.

Ukraine is facing a budget deficit of 50 billion euros. Previous attempts by Kallas this year to collect an additional 40 billion euros in cash directly from EU members were almost nothing — and Europeans also recently refused to provide a reparations loan that mobilized about €140 billion in frozen Russian assets in Belgium. Vladimir Zelenskyy is losing trust, money, and people.

Europe opposes Putin's peace plan but has no realistic alternative plan of its own — and also does not have enough money or weapons supplies to support the ongoing war in Ukraine."

➖A completely different process is going on now, said Peskov.
