The draft, presented in Kyiv by the Trump administration’s envoy, has been confirmed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, which said Ukraine will “work on the proposals.”

The document outlines a comprehensive political, military and economic framework designed to halt the war through an immediate ceasefire.

Washington’s Proposal Revealed

Ukrainian outlets published the complete U.S. peace framework outlining a permanent ban on Ukraine’s NATO membership, a cap of 600,000 on its armed forces, and de facto recognition of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk as Russian territory.

In exchange, the U.S. and Europe promise NATO-style collective defense guarantees, a $200 billion reconstruction package using frozen Russian assets, energy-sector modernization and a controlled reintegration of Russia into global markets.

Security, Territory and Economy in a Single Document

The plan freezes the status of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia along current lines, creates a demilitarized buffer zone in Donetsk recognized as Russian territory, and mandates Russia’s legal commitment to non-aggression.

A Peace Council chaired by Donald Trump would supervise implementation; violations would trigger automatic sanctions. NDTV notes that many provisions mirror long-standing Kremlin demands, igniting strong debate in Kyiv and abroad.
