One plan. Six pillars of international law demolished.
Trump's Ukraine plan requires the US to violate 71 international commitments, @EerikNKross has calculated.
It systematically contradicts the legal order America built over 80 years—from the Geneva Conventions to NATO's founding treaty:

A summary to add to my previous repost:
Europe’s 24-point peace plan calls for a ceasefire, third-party monitoring, and talks based on current front lines. It includes full POW swaps, return of civilians, NATO guarantees, no limits on Ukraine’s military, and control of ZNPP and key infrastructure. Russian assets funds Ukraine’s recovery.

A summary to add to my previous repost:
To the RU/US/whatever 28 point wish list, here's the counterpoint:
The Telegraph has leaked the full 24-point European peace proposal for Ukraine.
1. End the war and ensure it cannot restart.
2. Full unconditional ceasefire on land, in the sky and at sea.
3. Immediate technical talks on ceasefire monitoring with US and EU participation. 1/

My favourite moments of this iteration of the ”US-Russia peace plan” were:
1. Dmitriev leaking it
2. The points admitting that Russia does kidnap Ukrainian children
3. The points including that Ukraine shouldn’t hit Moscow or St Petersburg ”without a cause”

It is a Russian plan launched by RU through American media as Trump's plan. Trump, taken by surprise, watched for 2 days how it unfolds and now just plays opportunisticly. If Ukraine accepts, he claims he brought peace. If Ukraine declines, it is all Ukraine's fault. Very cleverly done by Putin

The plan would even demand that Russian be recognised as an official state language in Ukraine and that the local branch of the Russian Orthodox Church receive official status, echoing long standing Kremlin political goals.

RBC reports that Washington is pushing Zelensky to accept a US Russia “framework deal” that includes recognising all occupied territories, including Crimea, and restricting long range strikes so Ukraine cannot hit Russia. Sources say Ukrainians will not accept it as pressure on Zelensky grows.
