The Proposal in a Nutshell
The United States has introduced a comprehensive 28-point proposal aimed at resolving the war between Ukraine and Russia. The plan - drafted by U.S. and Russian officials and shared with Ukraine - would require Kyiv to accept territorial concessions, forego membership in NATO and agree to substantial long-term commitments.
Key Components of the Plan
-
Ukraine must enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO.
-
Russia would be recognised as sovereign over Crimea, the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, while parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia would be frozen under current lines of control.
-
Ukraine’s armed forces would be capped at 600,000 personnel and troop deployment by NATO banned.
-
The United States and Europe would use hundreds of billions in frozen Russian assets for Ukrainian reconstruction, but with conditions favouring U.S. profit participation.
-
Russia would be reintegrated into global economic and diplomatic frameworks (including an invite back to the G8) in exchange for concessions and legal commitments.
