Overview
- President Volodymyr Zelensky has received a U.S. 28‑point proposal that includes recognizing Russian control over Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk and imposing strict limits on Ukraine’s armed forces.
- President Donald Trump has set a Thanksgiving deadline for a response, and the Washington Post reports U.S. support could be curtailed if Kyiv declines.
- Ukraine and the United States will open consultations in Switzerland in the coming days, while Zelensky coordinates a joint position with France, the United Kingdom and Germany.
- Kyiv has labeled some terms unacceptable, including withdrawing from Ukrainian‑held areas of the Donbas and reducing troop levels to about 600,000.
- The Kremlin says no formal consultations are underway but signals it could press military gains, and the draft’s security guarantees, funding via frozen Russian assets and ban on NATO troops remain loosely defined.
