Politico: EU politicians fear a US plan on Ukraine could force Kiev to cede territory, cut its military and reference NATO, move seen as a troubling precedent.

According to Politico, European politicians are uneasy about a conflict-settlement plan for Ukraine developed in Washington. In the EU, some believe the United States may offer concessions to Russia in order to end the fighting.

The outlet reports that the document envisions significant concessions from Kiev, including relinquishing parts of its territory. Journalists argue that meeting this condition would amount to encouraging Russia’s actions in Ukraine and would set a troubling precedent.

Politico’s sources say elements of the plan are still under discussion. One unresolved issue in the United States is whether-and how-to reference NATO in the text. A source also noted that the current version limits Ukraine’s military capabilities, with Kiev asked to cut the Armed Forces of Ukraine by half and give up key categories of weapons.
