Zelensky Unveils US-Backed 20-Point Peace Draft, Awaits Kremlin Response Today

Moscow prepares a formal reply after US consultations.

Overview

  • The framework outlines NATO-style security guarantees, a peacetime force of about 800,000 troops, a freeze along current front lines, demilitarised zones, and international monitoring under a proposed Peace Council chaired by President Trump.
  • Zelensky said US officials will brief Russia with a reply expected by Wednesday, following recent US–Ukraine talks in Florida that revised an earlier American proposal.
  • Control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and territorial arrangements in Donetsk and Luhansk are highlighted as the most contentious unresolved issues.
  • The Kremlin has not agreed to the draft, with Dmitry Peskov saying Russia is formulating its position and will not discuss details through the media.
  • Hostilities continue with intensified strikes on energy infrastructure and a Ukrainian withdrawal from Siversk, while the EU approved an interest-free €90 billion package for Kyiv backed by frozen Russian assets if reparations fail.
