European Defense Chiefs Criticize US Peace Plan for Ukraine Amid Russian Aggression

European defense leaders and US lawmakers gathered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to express concerns about the Trump administration’s 28-point peace plan for Ukraine. The proposed deal has been criticized for being straight out of the Russian playbook and hamstrings NATO. If signed, it would bar Ukraine from joining NATO and offer Moscow a window to reconstitute its military within 18-24 months or potentially up to three years.
