Overview
- A U.S. delegation led by Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll presented the draft in Kyiv, and Ukraine said it will work through the points and seek a call with Trump.
- Reported terms include de facto recognition of Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk as Russian, and a freeze along current lines in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
- The draft also calls for a constitutional ban on NATO membership, a cap of about 600,000 troops and curbs on long-range weapons, with elections 100 days after any deal.
- Security provisions range from vague U.S. guarantees to a version described by Axios as a collective-response pledge, alongside use of seized Russian assets and steps to reintegrate Russia into the global economy.
- The White House called the plan "good" for both sides and linked it to work by Steve Witkoff and Marco Rubio; EU leaders voiced alarm and demanded inclusion, and the Kremlin denied new substantive U.S.–Russian consultations.
