Western allies of Ukraine consider the US peace plan as a basis for discussions, but it requires improvements and expresses concerns regarding the limitations imposed on Ukraine.

Following a meeting at the G20 summit in Johannesburg, leaders of 11 countries and the European Union rejected the peace plan proposed by the US for Ukraine in its current form, emphasizing that it only represents a 'basis' for discussions and requires 'additional efforts'.

The 28-point project includes essential elements for a just peace, but leaders expressed concern over the limitations imposed on Ukrainian armed forces, which could make Ukraine vulnerable to future attacks. They also reaffirmed the principle that borders should not be changed by force and insisted on the necessity of consent from EU and NATO members for the elements of the plan. The US plan proposes ceding the Donbas region to Russia and imposes restrictions on Ukrainian armed forces, which has sparked negative reactions from allies.
