NATO Warns Against Rushing Expectations of the U.S. Peace Plan for Ukraine

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte urged caution regarding expectations surrounding the U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, noting that the plan still requires substantial negotiations.

Rutte told the "RND" media group and the Spanish newspaper "El País" in statements published on Wednesday that the framework jointly reviewed by the United States and Ukraine contains promising elements, but also includes unresolved issues that will need additional diplomatic rounds.

The Ukrainian government stated on Tuesday that it has agreed to the main points of the peace plan proposed by the United States, according to both governments.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that there are only a few points still in dispute. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet with him later in November.

Washington distributed a 28-point plan last week, which faced criticism in Europe and Kyiv, where officials fear that the plan accommodates many Russian interests.

Negotiators from the United States, Ukraine, and European countries held meetings in Geneva to review the document, with Rutte describing those sessions as fruitful, but indicating they represent only a preliminary step toward structural talks between the United States and Ukraine.
