What is contained in the 28-point peace plan that Trump is imposing on Kiev

A deal prepared by the US to end the war in Ukraine would force Kiev to make painful concessions in exchange for guaranteed peace.

Concretely, the proposed agreement, which has 28 points, mainly stipulates that Ukraine will completely cede the Donbas region (consisting of the eastern provinces of Donetsk and Lugansk) to Russia, which together with the Crimean peninsula would be de facto recognized as Russian, including by the United States.

At the same time, the territories of Donbas ceded to Russia and not currently under its control would become demilitarized buffer zones, while Kherson and Zaporozhye provinces in the south and southeast would be divided along the current front line.

Also, Ukraine is requested to limit its armed forces, reducing its numbers to no more than 600,000 soldiers, to give up all long-range weapons, as well as the aspiration to join NATO, a commitment of military neutrality to be written into the Constitution.

In return, Ukraine could receive Western security guarantees, but without the presence of foreign troops on its territory.

This plan, whose existence was initially revealed by the American publication Axios, was developed following Russian-American consultations, in particular between the special emissary of the American president Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff, and the special economic emissary of the Russian president Vladimir Putin, Kirill Dmitriev, without the European supporters of Ukraine being informed, and some European politicians compare the proposals with a request for the capitulation of Kiev.
