US EditionThe U.S. Must Not Gift Crimea to Putin
- The United States proposed a peace plan on April 25, 2025, that includes permanent cease-fire and recognition of Russian control over Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine.
- This proposal follows Russia’s 2014 seizure of Crimea and its ongoing occupation of roughly 20 percent of Ukraine’s territory, which has led to significant casualties since 2014 and intensified after the 2022 invasion.
- Ukrainian President Zelenskyy rejects conceding Crimea or other lands to Russia, calling for a fair end without rewarding Putin, while President Trump suggested Zelenskyy might consider conceding territory.

- The peace proposal’s recognition of Russian gains risks granting Moscow veto power over Ukraine’s future, raising concerns about legitimizing Russia's illegal territorial claims and the consequences for Ukraine’s sovereignty.
