Ukraine's European allies said they were not involved in the development of the original 28-point plan, and harshly criticized several proposals, including those on territorial control, security guarantees or the reduction of the Ukrainian army.
They later presented a counterproposal that would soften some of the proposed territorial concessions and include a NATO-style security guarantee from the United States for Ukraine should it be attacked.
