Zelenskyy Details 20-Point Peace Framework, Awaits Russian Reply After US Briefing

Moscow is now reviewing a US-brokered 20-point framework following USUkraine progress on security guarantees.

Overview

  • Zelenskyy said Ukraine and the United States reached consensus on core elements, including NATO-style security guarantees, a peacetime force of 800,000 troops, and an economic recovery package with an EU accession path.
  • The most contentious issues remain territorial arrangements in Donetsk/Donbas and the fate of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, with Kyiv rejecting equal RussianUSUkraine control and proposing a USUkraine venture and a demilitarised zone for Enerhodar.
  • The draft would freeze current positions as the de facto contact line and explores demilitarised or free economic zones with reciprocal pullbacks, alongside proposals for international monitoring forces.
  • Zelenskyy requested a leaders-level meeting with President Trump to resolve sensitive territorial questions and said any withdrawals or status changes would require approval via a nationwide referendum, with elections to follow an agreement.
  • US- and Ukraine-led talks in Florida compressed an earlier 28-point draft into the current 20-point framework, and the Kremlin says President Putin has been briefed as Moscow formulates its response.
