The European Commission insist that there must be no territorial concessions on the part of Ukraine, which must retain its armed forces, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
"First, borders cannot be changed by force," she said in a statement released by her press service ahead of the talks on the US peace plan in Geneva. "Second, as sovereign nation, there can be no limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces that would leave the country vulnerable to future attack and thereby undermining European security. Third, the centrality of the European union in securing peace for Ukraine must be fully reflected."

Second, as a sovereign nation there cannot be limitations on Ukraine's armed forces that would leave the country vulnerable to future attack and thereby also undermining European security," she said.

Во-вторых, как суверенное государство, Украина не может иметь ограничений в отношении своих вооруженных сил».
