This doesn't sound like it's really a new proposal:

Though variants of the proposal have been discussed without making progress since Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a fresh version of the plan has gained renewed impetus this week after Zelenskyy’s acrimonious meeting with US president Donald Trump on Friday.

So it's already been discussed. I don't know how much weight to ascribe to "renewed impetus". It doesn't sound like there's yet a commitment.

That being said, it certainly beats there not being a "renewed impetus". It could potentially develop into something real.

But at this stage, I don't think that it's yet over that hump.

That does certainly seem to lend credence to the position of "Europe was happy to let the US foot the bill'
