Overview
- Washington confirmed President Trump is pursuing the plan and said a U.S. Army delegation led by Secretary Daniel Driscoll presented it to President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.
- Kyiv said it has neither accepted nor rejected the proposal and is studying it against core principles, with Zelensky calling for a “dignified peace” and saying he will discuss the plan with Trump.
- Draft texts reported by media would recognize Russian control of Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk, freeze the front line in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, require Ukraine to renounce NATO membership in its constitution, reduce its armed forces, and hold elections within 100 days.
- Economic and governance provisions reportedly include using frozen Russian assets for reconstruction, potential Russian readmission to the G8, IAEA oversight of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant with power shared between Ukraine and Russia, and an amnesty for parties to the conflict.
- A subsequent draft described by Axios adds collective security assurances modeled on NATO’s Article 5, while EU officials insist any settlement must involve Europe and Ukraine and the Kremlin says there are only contacts, not formal consultations.
