Trump Administration Explores Peace Plan for Ukraine War

U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg outlines potential strategies for ceasefire and negotiations as Zelenskyy signals openness to concessions.

President Trump's special envoy, Keith Kellogg, is set to discuss a potential Ukraine-Russia peace plan at the Munich Security Conference next week, though no formal plan has been announced yet.
The proposed strategy may involve freezing the conflict along current lines, leaving Russia in control of about 20% of Ukrainian territory, with security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent future aggression.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has shown a willingness to consider territorial concessions in exchange for NATO membership or other security assurances.
Kellogg emphasizes a multi-faceted approach, combining military, economic, and diplomatic pressures to end the nearly three-year-long war.
The Trump administration has also floated leveraging Ukraine's rare earth minerals as part of negotiations, while rejecting demands for Ukraine to reacquire nuclear weapons.
