Ukraine's Allies Raise Eyebrows at US Peace Plan

World leaders are scratching their heads over a new US peace plan for Ukraine. They say it leans too much toward Russia and needs a serious tweak. The plan was a surprise to many, especially since it was put together without much input from Ukraine or its European allies. The main worry? The plan suggests Ukraine give up some land, stop aiming for NATO membership, and shrink its military. Not everyone is on board with these ideas. European leaders are clear: any changes affecting NATO or the EU need their say-so. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is in a tough spot. He has to choose between accepting the plan and losing US support or standing his ground. Meanwhile, allies are trying to push back without upsetting the US president. Talks are happening in Switzerland this weekend. US and Ukrainian officials will meet to smooth out the language before Zelensky talks to Trump. There's also a plan for the US to chat with Russia about the proposal, but that won't be in Switzerland. European leaders are not happy with the idea of recognizing Russia's occupation or limiting Ukraine's military. They want a deal that respects Ukraine's choices and doesn't sneak in Russian demands. The US proposal's security guarantees are also a bit fuzzy and need clearing up. On the sidelines, the European Council president has called a special meeting on Ukraine. It's clear this story is far from over.
