Whatever it is, it's an internal NATO matter. Whatever NATO is planning on doing amongst its members doesn't need to be part of a Ukraine-Russia peace settlement.

until Russia tries to make no NATO forces in Ukraine part of it's requirements for peace, or starts to rattle sabers about it post peace deal. Best to spell stuff out like that ahead of time.

That's point 8 of the European proposal.

At any rate, they're essentially proposing land for peace and leaving open a door for NATO membership. Better late than never.

Some fun wheels-within-wheels for the intelligence nerds. Non-paywalled from the Wall Street Journal about the leak of someone’s foreign signals intelligence penetration of the call between the U.S. envoy and the Russian foreign minister over the Ukraine peace plan. https://archive.is/3USc6

Someone somewhere decided to burn their SIGINT foreign intelligence collection capability - probably an exploit of one of the actual physical phone devices - to get word out about this backroom dealing. I wonder which European SIGINT agency this was?

This release is a subtle but potentially very important indicator of Europe pushing back against U.S. efforts to sell out Ukraine to Russia.

Mr. Lines on Maps put out a video yesterday regarding the very same thing.

And further on the topic.

Why Does Steve Witkoff Keep Taking Russia’s Side?

Trump’s envoy isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin.

Bet Israel did the phone tap. Stay one up on Trump in case he thinks he can do something to Israel which is not in their interest.
