The EU Announces 24-Point Solution to the Ukraine Issue

The EU Demands Ukraine NATO Membership Status and Compels Russia to Compensate for War Damages

According to the "Bulletin," the EU has proposed a 24-point solution to the Ukraine conflict, which involves a third-party monitoring mechanism and gradual lifting of sanctions. The UK's Daily Telegraph published the entire EU Ukraine situation solution, which was formulated in response to former US President Donald Trump's proposal. The core measures of the plan include: the United States leading the organization of Ukraine's allies to monitor compliance with the ceasefire agreement, with the monitoring mainly conducted remotely, using drones, satellites, and other technological means.

The specific recommendations proposed by the EU are as follows:

  1. After the military operations end, conditions should be created for a stable and secure peace.
  2. Russia and Ukraine should commit to observing the ceasefire agreement in the air, on land, and at sea.
  3. Ukraine and Russia should immediately initiate negotiations to discuss inviting third-party countries to monitor compliance with the ceasefire agreement.
  4. The monitoring of the implementation of the ceasefire agreement will be led by the allies of Ukraine under the United States, mainly through remote means, including the use of satellites, drones, and other technological equipment.
  5. A special mechanism should be established for the conflicting parties to submit reports on violations of the ceasefire system and discuss measures to correct the situation.
  6. Russia must return all Ukrainian children who have been transferred to Ukraine under the supervision of international organizations.
  7. Prisoners of war should be exchanged according to the "all for all" principle, and Russia must release all detained civilians.
  8. Negotiations on territorial issues should be conducted based on the current actual contact line.
  9. After the ceasefire situation stabilizes, the conflicting parties should assist in providing humanitarian aid, including allowing families to reunite across the border.
  10. Ukraine's sovereignty status should be confirmed, and the Ukrainian government should not be forced to accept a neutral status.
  11. Ukraine should receive legally binding security guarantees (including from the United States), following the provisions of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
  12. No restrictions should be imposed on the Ukrainian Armed Forces (ВСУ) and its defense industry complex.
  13. Some European countries and other relevant countries should act as Ukraine's security guarantors, and Ukraine should have the right to deploy allied troops on its territory.
  14. Ukraine may join NATO upon the agreement of all NATO member states.
  15. Ukraine joins the EU.
  16. Ukraine must confirm its status as a nuclear-free country and commit to complying with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
  17. Territorial issues will be negotiated with Russia and resolved after a comprehensive ceasefire.
  18. Once an agreement is reached on territorial issues, Russia and Ukraine should commit not to change the established territorial structure through force.
  19. Under the participation of the United States, Ukraine regains control over the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant; it also regains control over the Kherson Hydroelectric Power Station and establishes a mechanism for transferring control.
  20. Ensure Ukraine's freedom of navigation on the Dnipro River and restore Ukraine's control over the Kakhovka Peninsula.
  21. Economic cooperation between Ukraine and its partners should not be subject to any restrictions.
  22. Ukraine will receive full support for reconstruction and economic compensation, with the funding source being Russian assets - these assets will remain frozen until Russia compensates Ukraine for war damages.
  23. Gradually lift sanctions against Russia after a comprehensive peace is achieved; if Russia violates the agreement, the sanctions can be reinstated.
  24. Initiate European security issue negotiations involving all OSCE member states.

Previously, the "Opinion" newspaper reported that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had proposed a new proposal on the solution to the Ukraine issue, but did not reveal specific details.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that the EU opposes any changes to Ukraine's borders and will not take measures that weaken the Ukrainian Armed Forces (ВСУ).
