At the G20 summit in South Africa, leaders from European countries, Canada, and Japan stated that the US peace plan for Ukraine needs ‘revision’. The joint statement cited by The Guardian emphasized the unilateral nature of Washington’s plan to cease hostilities in Ukraine as a basis requiring refinement. They reaffirmed the ‘principle of non-acceptance of border changes by force’ and expressed concerns over the proposed limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces, fearing it would make the country vulnerable to future attacks.
G20 members welcomed ongoing US efforts to establish peace, acknowledging the initial 28-point plan as having ‘important elements crucial for a fair and lasting peace’. Western countries intend to continue coordinating their actions with Ukraine and the US in the coming days.
European leaders are reevaluating the US proposed ceasefire plan and aiming to ‘buy more time’ for Kyiv, as reported by Bloomberg. The US administration set a deadline for the plan’s acceptance – Thanksgiving Day, November 27th.
On November 21st, media outlets published a draft of a 28-point peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The document includes provisions on territorial concessions, security guarantees for Ukraine, and the potential lifting of some sanctions. That same day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation regarding the project, stressing the tough decision ahead for Kyiv and stating that the upcoming week would be ‘very difficult’ for Ukraine.
