- Europe has quickly and firmly responded to the peace plan for Ukraine.
- UK, France, and Germany back a counterproposal that preserves Ukraine's military capabilities and rejects new territorial concessions.
- Trump's proposal would have severely limited Ukraine, including the surrender of Donetsk and the reduction of its army.
- It is vital that Ukraine have a say in the negotiations over its peace plan.
- The war provoked by Russian aggression in 2022 remains a turning point for the future of the continent.
Conclusion: Defending Ukraine is defending Europe itself. Ukraine's sovereignty should not be a bargaining chip.
