A draft 28-point plan backed by US President Donald Trump would require Ukraine to offer territorial and security concessions to Moscow, while Russia would be readmitted to the G8 group and receive sanctions relief.
Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been “quietly” working on the plan for around a month, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he expected to discuss the plan with Trump “in coming days.”
Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed.
A comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine and Europe. All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled.
It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries and NATO will not expand further.
A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States, to resolve security issues and create conditions for de-escalation.
Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees.
The size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be limited to 600,000 personnel.
Ukraine agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO, and NATO agrees to include in its statutes a provision that Ukraine will not be admitted in the future.
NATO agrees not to station troops in Ukraine.
European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.
The United States will receive compensation for the security guarantee. If Ukraine invades Russia, it will lose the guarantee. If Russia invades Ukraine, all global sanctions will be reinstated, recognition of the new territory and all other benefits of the deal will be revoked. If Ukraine launches a missile at Moscow or St. Petersburg without cause, the security guarantee will be deemed invalid.
Ukraine is eligible for EU membership and will receive short-term preferential access to the European market while this issue is being considered.
A global package of measures will be rolled out to rebuild Ukraine, including the creation of a Ukraine Development Fund, rebuilding of the country’s gas infrastructure, rehabilitation of war-affected areas, development of new infrastructure and renewed extraction of minerals and natural resources, all supported by a finance package developed by the World Bank.
Russia will be reintegrated into the global economy, with discussions on lifting sanctions, rejoining the G8 group and entering a long-term economic cooperation agreement with the United States.
One hundred billion dollars in frozen Russian assets will be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine, with the United States receiving 50 percent of the profits from the venture. Europe will add $100 billion to increase available investment for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Frozen European funds will be unfrozen, and the remainder of the frozen Russian funds will be invested in a separate US–Russian investment vehicle.
A joint American–Russian working group on security issues will be established to promote and ensure compliance with all provisions of the agreement.
Russia will enshrine in law its policy of non-aggression toward Europe and Ukraine.
The United States and Russia will agree to extend the validity of treaties on nuclear non-proliferation and arms control, including the START I Treaty.
Ukraine agrees to remain a non-nuclear state in accordance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will be reactivated under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the electricity generated will be distributed equally between Russia and Ukraine.
Both countries will implement educational programmes aimed at promoting understanding and tolerance.
Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk will be recognised as de facto Russian, including by the United States. Kherson and Zaporizhzhia will be frozen along the line of contact, amounting to de facto recognition along that line. Russia will relinquish other agreed territories it controls outside the five regions. Ukrainian forces will withdraw from the part of Donetsk Oblast they currently control, which will then be used to create a buffer zone.
After agreeing to future territorial arrangements, both Russia and Ukraine will commit not to change those arrangements by force. Security guarantees will not apply in the event of a breach.
Russia will not prevent Ukraine from using the Dnieper River for commercial activities, and agreements will be reached on the free transport of grain across the Black Sea.
A humanitarian committee will be established to resolve prisoner exchanges, return remains, release hostages and civilian detainees, and implement a family reunification programme.
Ukraine will hold elections in 100 days.
All parties involved in the conflict will receive full amnesty for their actions during the war and agree not to pursue claims or complaints in the future.
The agreement will be legally binding. Its implementation will be monitored and guaranteed by the Peace Council, chaired by US President Donald Trump. Sanctions will be imposed for violations.
Once all parties agree to the memorandum, a ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points to begin implementation.
