The US discussed freezing the war in Ukraine with Europe: Bloomberg on key conditions.


The US proposed a peace plan for Russia and Ukraine
The US proposed a peace plan for Russia and Ukraine that includes conditions for a ceasefire and the lifting of sanctions against Russia in exchange for a prolonged truce. This proposal was made despite US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement on the possibility of halting peace efforts if there is no quick progress. During negotiations in Paris, an American plan was presented that envisions a 'freeze' of the conflict and maintaining control over occupied territories.
Ukraine also agreed to a ceasefire but stated the necessity for security guarantees. Russia's position demands recognition of its occupied territories in any agreement.
The seriousness of negotiations and security guarantees for Ukraine
Russia must demonstrate seriousness in negotiations about a ceasefire and find common ground with the Ukrainian side. European allies support the efforts of the US and Kyiv to end the war and emphasize the need for security guarantees for Ukraine.
Complex sanctions lifting and slow progress
Lifting sanctions may be complex and also requires the support of all EU member states. The results of the negotiations in Paris are considered constructive and positive, but progress is being made slowly.
