The Day Europe Resisted Trump's Peace Plan

Russian media reports on November 22nd continued their focus on the US peace plan for Ukraine. Early morning narratives emphasized perceived pressure on Zelensky to accept the plan, with some outlets predicting a military coup if he refused, alongside reports of Ukrainian military losses and drone attacks in Russian regions.

By late morning and early afternoon, Putin's assessment of Trump's plan was highlighted, with mentions of his readiness for negotiations while threatening further territorial seizures if Kyiv rejected the proposal. Reports also noted Europe's criticism of the American proposal for using Russian assets and an ultimatum from a US envoy to Ukraine.

Later in the day, the discourse shifted significantly to European leaders expressing reservations about specific points of the US plan, particularly concerning Ukrainian armed forces and borders. An urgent EU summit on Ukraine was scheduled for November 24th, with a meeting between EU, US, and Ukrainian representatives planned for November 23rd to discuss the peace plan, indicating European efforts to modify the proposal.
