The European Union has submitted a modified version of the United States' peace plan for Ukraine that pushes back on proposed limits to Kyiv's armed forces and territorial concessions, according to a document seen by Reuters on Sunday.
The document, prepared for talks on the plan in Geneva, proposes capping Ukraine's military at 800,000 "in peacetime," rather than the blanket cap of 600,000 proposed by the US plan.
It also says that Ukraine would hold elections as soon as possible after a peace agreement was signed.
The proposal also says that "negotiations on territorial swaps will start from the Line of Contact."
Discussions of draft to end the war in Ukraine has been 'productive' so far
Talks between US and Ukrainian officials in Geneva on Sunday to discuss a drafted US plan to end the war in Ukraine have so far been "productive and even conclusive in some areas," a US official told Reuters.
The BBC previously reported that the Geneva meetings were focused on ironing out details, including contentious issues.
This is a developing story.
