Von der Leyen Warns US Peace Plan Could Escalate Ukraine Conflict

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed concerns about a proposed US peace framework for Ukraine, warning that limiting Ukraines military could leave the country vulnerable to future Russian aggression. The American proposal suggests Ukraine give up territory, cut its military, and share reconstruction profits with the US. Von der Leyen emphasized that any peace deal must stop the current conflict without creating conditions for another one. European leaders, including European Council President António Costa, acknowledge US efforts but stress the need for more work and Ukraines direct involvement in negotiations. Former President Trump has softened his stance on a deadline for Ukraine to accept the terms. Critics argue that the initial plan could reward Russian aggression and pave the way for future invasions.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
