US, Ukraine Allies Meet in Geneva to Redraw War Plan Amid Fears of Betrayal
Washington's draft proposal to end the conflict in Ukraine is facing a major overhaul as senior officials from the US, Ukraine, and European allies convene in Geneva. The meeting comes as Russia's invasion enters its fourth year, with tensions running high between Moscow and Kiev.
Critics have long argued that the US plan amounts to an unacceptable surrender to Russian interests, and it appears that Ukraine and its European partners are seeking significant changes to the proposal. French National Security Adviser Patrick Strzyinski is in attendance, as well as representatives from Germany and the UK.
The proposed deal has been at the center of controversy since Donald Trump's presidency, with many viewing it as a capitulation to Russian demands. As the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate, diplomats are scrambling to reshape the plan to better reflect Ukraine's interests.
With the war dragging on and no clear end in sight, the meeting is being seen as an opportunity for the US to adjust its stance and avoid further alienating its European allies. The outcome of these talks will be closely watched, with implications for global stability hanging precariously in the balance.

so they're trying to redo the plan because people think it's too lenient towards Russia? like what's wrong with being diplomatic lol I get it, Ukraine and Europe want to make sure they're not getting screwed over but come on, can't we just try to find a middle ground here? it feels like everyone's just trying to one-up each other 
and now the US is having to scramble because nobody wants to be seen as backing down... it's all so predictable 
. I mean, what's to stop them from just giving up on Ukraine altogether? And now that Ukrainian and European allies are pushing for changes, I worry it'll just be a watered-down version of the original proposal 
. We should be focusing on holding Russia accountable, not coddling their ego 
.
I hope they can come up with something solid this time around...
. I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like Ukraine is getting a raw deal and Russia is getting away scot-free 
. What if there's just some way to make everyone happy for once? 
. Can't we just focus on getting people out of Ukraine safely instead of fighting over who gets what? 
Anyway, I'm low-key hoping they can get something done before it's too late 
. It's also interesting to see France involved - I wonder if their involvement will help smooth things over or make things more complicated 
.
It's not a game anymore, it's time to get real 
. We can't keep playing chess on an occupied board 
. A new strategy is needed, one that puts Ukraine's interests first 
. The US needs to be more flexible and willing to listen to Ukraine's concerns 
. No more justifying Russia's aggression with empty promises 
. It's time for a new plan, one that takes into account the realities of this conflict 
.
, waiting for them to cave. I'm all for Ukraine winning this war btw, but gotta wonder if the US has any idea what's going on 
What do you guys think is going on here? Should we be worried about what happens next? 
. It wouldn't hurt if we could get more countries on board, like China or India - they've been staying neutral so far, but it's hard to see how that will last forever 
. Newsflash: this is people's lives we're talking about - innocent civilians who've been caught in the crossfire for years. We need to be doing more than just 'adjusting our stance' - we need to be taking real action 
.
. But at the same time, can we really afford to abandon Ukraine completely? They're like, totally counting on us right now 
... when will something actually get done?! But at the same time, I guess this is progress or whatever 
. Ugh, my head is spinning 
.
. I mean, we've been hearing about how Russia's invasion is dragging on for four years now and no one really knows what's going to happen next. It's like they're just trying to keep everyone in limbo while the situation gets more and more complicated. And with all these powerful people coming together, you'd think there would be some real progress being made, but honestly it feels like they're just trying to stave off disaster rather than actually finding a solution 
.
it's not like they're being held hostage by russia, but still there are some valid concerns about how to approach the situation 
. Like, who even gets betrayed by Russia? They're not exactly known for their diplomacy skills 
.
. And the thing is, Ukraine really needs the West's support to take down Moscow 
. Is that too much to ask?!
