Trump’s 28-point proposal to end the war

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 Group of Eight (G-8) and receive sanctions relief.

Mr 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 Mr Trump “in coming days”.

Here is the 28-point plan, according to a draft reviewed by AFP.

1 Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed.

2 A comprehensive nonaggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine and Europe. All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled.

3 It is expected that Russia will not invade neighbouring countries and Nato will not expand further.

4 A dialogue will be held between Russia and Nato, mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for deescalation.

5 Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees.

6 The size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be limited to 600,000 personnel.

7 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.

8 Nato agrees not to station troops in Ukraine.

9 European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.

10 The US will receive compensation for the security guarantee. If Ukraine invades Russia, it will lose the guarantee.

If Russia invades Ukraine, in addition to a decisive coordinated military response, all global sanctions will be reinstated, recognition of the new territory and all other benefits of this deal will be revoked.
