Details: According to the publication, Trump’s proposal provides significant concessions by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, who previously excluded the possibility of recognizing Crimea in Russian, as well as the recognition of parts of four regions in the east and south of Ukraine under the control of Russia.
A source close to the Ukrainian government reported that Kyiv considers this proposal extremely biased in favor of Russia.
“The proposal clearly states what significant benefits Russia will receive, but only the vague and generally outlined what Ukraine will receive,” the source said.
What Russia receives according to Trump’s proposal:
- “De jure” recognition of the US Russian control over Crimea.
- “De facto” recognition of occupation of almost all of the Luhansk region and occupied units of Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.
- The promise that Ukraine will not become a NATO member (the document states that EU membership is possible).
- Cancellation of sanctions imposed since 2014.
- Increasing economic cooperation with the United States, in particular in the energy and industrial spheres.
What does Ukraine receive:
- “Reliable security guarantees” with the participation of a special group of European and potentially non-European-like-minded countries. The document does not describe how this peacekeeping operation will function; The US is not mentioned.
- Returning a small part of the Kharkiv region occupied by Russia.
- Unobstructed navigation along the Dnieper River in the areas where it runs along the front line.
- Reconstruction compensation and assistance (no funding sources are specified).
The “final proposal” also refers to the US control over the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which will formally be considered Ukrainian territory, and electricity from it will be supplied to both Ukraine and Russia.
The document also mentions the US-Ukrainian Agreement on the extraction of minerals, which, according to Trump, is planned to be signed on Thursday.
Literally: “This plan was formed after a four -hour meeting of Trump Special Supporter Steve Witcoff with Vladimir Putin, after which the Kremlin leader suggested freezing the front line as part of a potential agreement.”
Details: The American official who participated in the negotiations stated that Rubio and Vitcoff worked together “to develop a framework that would bring us closer to the war.”
However, according to the official, Kyiv is more interested in discussing a 30-day ceasefire during meetings in London than in the approval of the proposed peace plan.
“Negotiations are ongoing, and we hope we are moving in the right direction,” Karolin Levitt told journalists of the White House Prescribe on Tuesday.
