US EditionTrump plan for Ukraine war would cede territory to Russia
Trump's plan demands Ukraine recognize Russian control over Crimea and Donbas, limits its military to 600,000 troops, and renounces NATO membership, while proposing $100 billion for reconstruction.
- On Thursday, President Donald J. Trump backed a draft peace plan obtained by The Associated Press that was shared in full with Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv as U.S. envoys pushed for a quick signature.
- After about a month of talks, the 28-point proposal was drafted by Steve Witkoff, Trump negotiator, and Kirill Dmitriev, Kremlin adviser, without meaningful European or Ukrainian involvement.
- The draft's 28 points call for recognizing Crimea and parts of Donbas as Russian-held, capping Ukrainian Armed Forces at 600,000 personnel, barring NATO expansion, and creating a US‑Russian investment vehicle with $100 billion in frozen Russian assets.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, has ruled out ceding territory while Ukrainian officials push back and European diplomats insist on their consent as U.S. officials pressed Kyiv for signature before Thanksgiving.
- The draft could reshape European security without clear U.S. or European enforcement, as analysts say the Peace Council headed by President Donald J. Trump mirrors Kremlin demands and raises enforcement questions.

In Global Politics, U.S. and China Are in Charge
