Ukraine expected to give up land, some arms under US peace plan: Reuters

A 28-point US peace framework requires Ukraine to cede parts of Donbas, halve its military, and limit Western aid, with Kyiv excluded from drafting, sources say.

  • Last month, President Trump's most senior foreign-policy aide Steve Witkoff drafted a 28-point peace plan after hosting Kirill Dmitriev in Florida, producing the proposal through private talks.
  • Russia's recent battlefield advances prompted Dmitriev to say talks occurred amid additional successes, with Moscow's Pokrovsk advance and President Vladimir Putin's demands to cede Donbas boosting Russian leverage.
  • The US army secretary, Daniel P. Driscoll, arrived in Kyiv, and President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to hear about the plan on Wednesday after Witkoff briefed Rustem Umerov earlier this week.
  • Observers warn the private talks risk freezing Ukraine and European partners out, while reports say the plan covers four areas: ending the war, security guarantees, security in Europe and future US‑Russia relations.
  • Kirill Dmitriev has emerged as a key negotiator between Moscow and the White House, and his prior unconventional proposals, like the Bering Strait tunnel idea, signal an unorthodox negotiating track.
