- Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump supports the U.S.-drafted framework, which the White House describes as a working document.
- Reported provisions include Ukraine ceding control over parts of Donbas and recognizing de facto Russian control of Crimea and Donbas, a cap of 600,000 troops, a bar on NATO membership or troop deployments, early elections, and phased relief from sanctions for Russia.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed his team received the draft and said Ukrainian and U.S. teams will work on the plan’s points, with a discussion with Trump expected in the coming days.
- EU officials, including Kaja Kallas, Jean-Noël Barrot and Radosław Sikorski, rejected any arrangement that limits Ukraine’s self-defense or equates peace with capitulation, insisting Europe and Kyiv must be fully involved.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said consultations with Washington are not underway, as a U.S. Army delegation led by Dan Driscoll and Randy George met Ukrainian leaders in Kyiv to discuss conditions and next steps.
