Overview

  • President Trump announced a U.S.–Russia peace deal aimed at ending the Ukraine war, proposing major territorial concessions to Russia and excluding Ukraine from NATO membership.
  • The plan recognizes Crimea and occupied regions as Russian territory, lifts U.S. sanctions imposed since 2014, and offers vague international security guarantees for Ukraine.
  • Ukrainian President Zelenskyy rejected the terms, citing constitutional violations and threats to sovereignty, while Kyiv suffered Russia's largest rocket and drone attack of the year, killing at least 12 people.
  • European leaders, including Germany, criticized the deal as a 'diktat peace' and warned that any agreement must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and have its consent.
  • NATO Secretary Mark Rutte and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff are engaging in follow-up talks with Moscow and Washington to refine the agreement amidst escalating tensions and continued Russian aggression.
