President Trump issued a 28-point U.S.-backed peace plan for Ukraine and Russia, demanding Kyiv recognize Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk as Russian territory, cap its army at 600,000 troops, and forgo NATO membership forever.
In exchange, Ukraine would get security guarantees, EU market access, and reconstruction funds from frozen Russian assets.
Zelenskyy has not rejected it outright but insists on a dignified peace, gaining full support from European leaders like Germany’s Friedrich Merz and France’s Emmanuel Macron, who stress nothing happens without Ukraine’s say.
