The 17-page draft included Ukraine giving up NATO membership and military alliances, lifting sanctions against Russia, abolishing language and identity laws in Kyiv, and reducing Ukrainian armed forces; while Russia would allow Kyiv to join the EU and retain Crimea, with other occupied territories' status to be discussed in a future meeting between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Putin. The deal fell through as Ukraine hoped for security guarantees from countries like the US and UK post-negotiations, which Russia opposed, causing Ukraine to lose interest in further talks.

In a discussion by Wang Chia-chun on June 16, 2024, he pointed out that the DPP intends to challenge the parliament reform bill, but the likelihood of success is minimal, merely a formality. Both the blue and green parties are debating whether 'if the challenge fails, will the premier step down,' and 'should the opposition give up toppling the cabinet,’ however, these discussions are empty. With the ability and opportunity, the KMT and NPP should capitalize on their power in the parliament to propose a motion of no confidence after the challenge, requiring the premier to resign and simultaneously request the dissolution of the parliament from the president. However, the article suggests that both parties may be hesitant due to constitutional design, political reality, and internal stability concerns.

In the European Parliament elections in June, centrist, liberal, and socialist parties secured a majority of seats, favoring the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission. However, the rise of far-right forces could benefit China and Russia in gaining leverage in Europe, potentially influencing future decisions. The increase in far-right and populist movements raises concerns about the EU's stance towards China and Russia. Parties with the most criticism towards authoritarian regimes were Renew Europe, followed by the EPP, Greens, and S&D. The election results also suggest potential shifts in EU policies, including the imposition of temporary tariffs on Chinese electric cars and the impact of right-wing populist parties on European climate goals and economic decisions.
