The Kremlin rejected a new European counter-proposal to the U.S. peace plan for Ukraine, calling it “completely unconstructive” and unacceptable. The proposal, drafted by the U.K., France, and Germany, was designed to soften some of the harshest demands in Washington’s original 28-point plan, which drew criticism for heavily favoring Russia.

The European draft would raise limits on Ukraine’s military from 600,000 to 800,000 troops and drop requirements for Kyiv to cede more territory in Donbas. It also proposes a ceasefire along current front lines and U.S. security guarantees similar to NATO’s Article 5.

Despite rejecting Europe’s version, the Kremlin said many parts of the U.S. plan remain “acceptable,” and President Vladimir Putin said the American proposal could form the basis for talks.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said revisions are underway after productive negotiations in Geneva. Ukraine’s Andriy Yermak said progress is being made toward a “just and lasting peace.”
