One of the main distinguishing features of the new plan is the requirement to maintain the Armed Forces of Ukraine at a level of 600,000 personnel. Unlike the American version, the European plan does not prohibit Ukraine from joining NATO, provided that the final decision will be made in agreement with other alliance members. The document also states that Russian assets will remain frozen until Russia compensates for the damage caused by the conflict.
The full text of the plan includes the following points:
1. Confirmation of Ukraine's sovereignty.
