Overview
- Kyiv confirmed it officially received the proposal and said President Volodymyr Zelensky will review it and discuss it with President Donald Trump in the coming days.
- The White House acknowledged the draft and said the president supports it, with spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt calling it a plan that should be acceptable to both sides.
- Reporting on the unpublished draft describes recognition or ceding of Donetsk and Luhansk to Russia, a freeze along current lines in parts of Kherson and Zaporizhia, major limits on Ukraine’s forces, a ban on NATO troops and membership, and the renunciation of long‑range weapons.
- The plan is also reported to include U.S.-backed security guarantees, potential use of roughly $100 billion in frozen Russian assets for reconstruction, IAEA oversight to restart the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, and European aircraft based in Poland for protection.
- EU officials, including Kaja Kallas, demanded inclusion in the process, and leaders of Germany, the U.K. and France told Zelensky any deal must preserve Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, while the Kremlin said there are contacts but no formal consultations or official plan received.
