Overview
- Ukraine’s presidency said it received the U.S. draft in Kyiv and agreed to work on its points, with President Volodymyr Zelensky signaling a call with President Donald Trump.
- A U.S. delegation led by Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll presented the document, which officials say was developed over weeks by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff.
- According to published drafts, the plan envisions de facto recognition of Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk as Russian, frozen lines in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, a NATO ban in Ukraine’s constitution, a 600,000‑troop cap, and elections within 100 days, alongside NATO‑like U.S. security guarantees.
- Reporting by multiple outlets says Washington has pressed for a rapid decision by Nov. 28 and signaled potential limits on weapons deliveries and intelligence sharing if Kyiv rejects the framework.
- Kyiv has restated red lines against recognizing occupied territory, European leaders have demanded inclusion in any talks, and the Kremlin says it has not received or does not recognize a new proposal.
