Overview
- Kyiv’s framework outlines NATO-style security guarantees, a peacetime army of about 800,000, a freeze along current lines, demilitarized zones, and a pathway to EU membership.
- The draft links a legally binding non‑attack commitment by Russia with international monitoring, rapid post‑deal elections in Ukraine, and reconstruction funds targeting about $800 billion.
- Contentious items include territorial arrangements in Donetsk and Luhansk, options for special economic zones or referenda, and the governance of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
- The Kremlin has offered no substantive public reply, with Dmitry Peskov saying positions will be conveyed privately, while the foreign ministry describes slow but steady progress with the U.S.
- Zelensky said he sought a meeting with President Donald Trump to address the hardest points, as Ukraine reported a withdrawal from Siversk and intensified Russian strikes on energy infrastructure.
