White House Holds Briefing After Confirming New Plan to End War in Ukraine

The 28-point plan proposes US security guarantees for Ukraine in exchange for territorial concessions to Russia, including Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk, officials said.

  • On Thursday, the Trump administration drafted a 28-point plan for a negotiated settlement that would grant Russia parts of Ukraine in exchange for U.S. security guarantees.
  • Axios reported the plan was secretly drafted with Moscow while Steve Witkoff, Trump special envoy, and Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, worked quietly for a month, the White House said.
  • The plan would require Ukraine to reduce its army to 400,000 personnel, recognize Crimea and other regions, give Russia de facto control over Luhansk and Donetsk, and cut long-range weapons.
  • Pentagon officials traveled to Ukraine Friday, and Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian President, met US army senior officials Thursday as Kyiv prepares to discuss the peace plan with President Donald Trump; Zelensky recently said, `It is a matter of our country's survival`.
  • Critics say the proposal echoes Moscow's demands as observers note it suggests Russian involvement and analysts warn ceding territory Ukraine controls could leave it vulnerable; the Kremlin said Thursday any peace deal must address war causes.
