US Peace Plan for Ukraine Stalls as Kyiv Rejects Concessions to Russia

Ukraine firmly opposes US-backed territorial compromises favoring Russia, while Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities escalate and European leaders back Kyiv’s sovereignty.

Overview

  • The US seven-point peace plan proposes recognizing Crimea as Russian, ceding eastern Ukrainian territories, and barring Ukraine from NATO membership, but Kyiv has rejected these terms outright.
  • President Zelenski has called for an unconditional ceasefire and expressed willingness to engage in direct negotiations with President Trump, but only after Russian attacks stop.
  • US Vice President J.D. Vance issued an ultimatum, stating that the US would withdraw from peace efforts if Ukraine and Russia do not accept the proposal.
  • European leaders, including the European Commission, have reiterated that any peace agreement must uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
  • Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk, have caused numerous civilian casualties, further complicating diplomatic efforts.
