The European version of Trump's plan for Ukraine garotted by Moscow

Surprise surprise, the first comment about Europe's rush to get Trump's 28-point peace plan for Ukraine rewritten in favour of Kyiv is entirely negative. Well, of course it is. Why does anyone think that Moscow will agree to a peace plan which doesn't stick to the Trump blueprint which is almost totally pro-Russia. A Russian official told reporters Moscow liked the version put out by Trump and ridicules the adapted one emerging from Geneva talks between Marco Rubio, US secretary of state, and European and Ukrainian officials. Presumably the modified version which has got everyone bar Moscow so excited, allows Ukraine to apply for Nato, rejects any handover of eastern Ukraine to Russia and says Kyiv can keep all the lovely weapons it has received from the West over the last near-four years. Moscow will laugh this one out of court and Ukraine will have to face another long freezing winter of war and more war. What beats me is how the US/Euopre/Ukraine could cobble up a new peace blueprint without taking into account the obvious fact that Putin will just hurl it in the wastebin.
