Land and Security Are the Main Sticking Points as Russia and Ukraine Mull Trump's Peace Proposal

Revisions address Ukraine's refusal to cede territory and emphasize security guarantees amid ongoing diplomatic talks led by U.S. officials, with key meetings in Geneva and Moscow.

  • Following Geneva meetings last week, the U.S. produced a revised version of President Donald Trump's peace plan, though major territorial and security disputes remain unresolved.
  • The original draft granted core Russian demands like ceding land and renouncing NATO membership, but Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, insist it will not cede territory.
  • U.S. envoys met Ukrainian negotiators over the weekend and plan follow-up talks with Moscow, while Trump said last week that he would send his envoy Steve Witkoff to Russia.
  • On Wednesday, NATO foreign ministers will gather in Brussels to review support for Ukraine, while Belgium's prime minister and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen debate using frozen Russian assets.
  • Andrii Yermak resigned Friday amid a corruption scandal, removing a lead negotiator and dealing a blow to Zelenskyy's team, while Vladimir Putin vowed last week to fight until Ukrainian troops withdraw from all four Ukrainian regions Russia annexed in 2022.

Despite this, US representatives are going to go to Russia to continue negotiations.
