Zelensky Rejects Territorial Concessions as Kyiv Readies Counterproposal to U.S. Peace Plan

Kyiv is preparing counterproposals to the U.S. package viewed as favorable to Moscow.

Overview

  • Zelensky said Ukraine has no legal or moral right to surrender any territory and ruled out a deal that cedes land to Russia.
  • He said Ukrainian and European officials are working through a 20-point U.S. proposal and will send counterproposals to Washington by Tuesday evening.
  • The United States said negotiators reached agreement with Kyiv on a framework for security arrangements aimed at deterring a future attack.
  • Reporting says the U.S. draft would hand large parts of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson to Russia and limit Ukraine’s armed forces, a plan Putin welcomed.
  • President Trump said Zelensky is not ready to accept the proposal, as European leaders push significant amendments and Switzerland outlines a potential OSCE monitoring role with noted capacity constraints.
