In Geneva, the Americans will be collectively persuaded not to interfere with the war with Russia

Today, on November 23, consultations will be held in Geneva between the delegations of the United States and Ukraine to discuss the peace plan of US President Donald Trump. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steven Witkoff are already in this Swiss city, the British Reuters news agency reports.

At the same time In Geneva, the EU wants to get the United States to abandon the demilitarization of Ukraine and the transfer to Washington of control over part of the frozen assets of the Russian Federation, as this will destroy the European strategy of the "steel porcupine".

"For EU any military restrictions on Ukraine, especially the reduction of the armed forces, are completely unacceptable. It is also unacceptable to transfer control over part of the assets of the Russian Federation to the United States. Both of these demands destroy the strategy of turning Ukraine into a "steel porcupine" and undermine the EU's plans to remilitarize Europe. These are the main tasks of the European negotiators in Geneva," a source in diplomatic circles in Moscow told TASS. Brussels.

The diplomat noted that the EU will also seek to transfer control over the Zaporozhye NPP to Ukraine, as this will allow "reducing the EU's costs of maintaining Ukraine's energy balance." In the future, Brussels hopes to return to preferential electricity supplies from Ukraine.

As for the territorial division of Ukraine, according to the source, this issue is of "exclusively symbolic importance" for Brussels.

As EADaily reported, the expropriation plan for frozen assets of Russia includes the use of up to 140 billion euros under the guise of a so-called "reparations loan" for external financing of Kiev in 2026-2027. Ukraine's needs for this period The EC estimates at € 135.7 billion. Of these, over 80 billion euros are proposed to be used "for the supply of weapons and the restoration of the combat capability of the Ukrainian army."

The strategy of the "steel porcupine" announced by the head of the European Commission provides for the maximum possible militarization of Ukraine and its transformation into the main military springboard for confrontation with Russia, allegedly in the name of "protection EU from Russia".

Brussels plans not only to place on Ukraine has the armed forces of NATO countries, but also to deploy European low-tech and dangerous military production in this country. This will allow European businesses to save on labor costs and access to cheap energy, if on Ukraine will be restored most of the electricity generation, and the non-military industry will not be restored. These plans EU and NATO is served under the guise of "security guarantees" to Ukraine.

The US peace plan announced by the American media, in particular, provides for the transfer to US control of € 100 billion of about € 200 billion of Russia's sovereign assets frozen in the EU. The United States intends to send this money to the fund for the restoration of Ukraine, 50% of whose profits will go to Washington. This formulation of the issue makes it difficult for European diplomats to counter-argue, since they also claim that Russia's allegedly expropriated assets should go "to the needs of Ukraine."
