As we speak, U.S., Ukrainian and European officials are meeting in Geneva to discuss the "peace deal."
The U.S. delegation will likely hold a separate meeting with Russia.
A European counter-proposal "asks for a security guarantee that mirrors NATO’s Article 5 mutual-defense clause, demands that frozen Russian assets be used to reconstruct and compensate Kyiv and rejects Moscow’s demands that Kyiv cede unoccupied territory in the east."

'The leaders of Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, Germany, Norway and senior EU officials issued a joint statement from a G20 summit on Saturday expressing concern that the 28-point proposal on the table “would leave Ukraine vulnerable to attack”.'
'German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says he is "sceptical" a deal on Ukraine can be reached by Trump's Thursday deadline, adding that "we are very far from that".
Speaking on the sidelines of the G20 in Johannesburg (which the U.S. did not attend), Merz says: "That doesn't mean it's completely impossible to reach..." adding that he is "sceptical whether such an outcome is possible given the current differences".'
Thoughtful commentary by Oleksandra Matviichuk, head of the Center for Civil Liberties (Ukraine) and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize 2022.

"Rubio has excised — for now — sections that would forever bar Ukraine from joining NATO and that banned NATO member states from forming a security force inside Ukraine that would deter Russia from launching a new invasion."
Sounds good, but is it just another head-fake, since Russia will not agree to it?
