Overview
- Reuters reported that Washington wants Ukraine to sign onto the framework within a week and has signaled intelligence sharing and weapons could be curtailed if Kyiv resists.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine received the draft, held a "very serious" meeting with a U.S. delegation in Kyiv, and is now conducting technical talks while coordinating with European leaders.
- According to published drafts and U.S. officials, terms include ceding control of parts of Donbas, recognizing Crimea and occupied areas as de facto Russian, capping the military at about 600,000, and barring NATO membership.
- The plan envisions $100 billion from frozen Russian assets for reconstruction, phased sanctions relief for Moscow, a path back to the G8, and a non‑aggression arrangement spanning Ukraine, Russia and Europe.
- EU officials said any agreement must include Ukraine and European partners, Kyiv’s security must not be weakened, the Kremlin said no consultations are underway, and Ukraine’s Rustem Umerov denied U.S. claims he agreed to most terms.
