The United States and Ukraine are reworking the peace plan presented by Trump

The delegations of the United States and Ukraine drafted a new peace plan consisting of 19 points, nine points less than the 28 points initially proposed by President Donald Trump, leaving the most politically “sensitive” elements to be determined by the presidents of the two countries.

This information comes from Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Kyslytsya, who announced, in an interview with the Financial Times, that last weekend’s meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, was characterized by an “intensive” and “fruitful” effort.

According to Kyslytsya, the new draft has “little in common” with the initial version, which imposed harsh conditions on Ukraine to obtain the long-awaited peace with Russia.

“Very few elements of the original version have prevailed,” the deputy minister said. The two delegations will now inform Presidents Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, and after that, the White House will contact the Kremlin to try to advance negotiations.

Oleksandr Peeves, advisor to the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, confirmed that “the 28-point plan no longer exists. Some points were deleted, others were modified. No comment from the Ukrainian side was left unanswered.”

The initial US proposal stipulates that Ukraine would cede the entire Don Basin region (Donbas), including Donetsk and Luhansk provinces, to Russia and limit its army strength to 600,000 soldiers.

Furthermore, it provided for an amnesty for both countries, prevented the prosecution of Russian leaders for war crimes, and established a non-aggression pact between Europe, Russia and Ukraine, which stipulated that all the “ambiguities” of the past thirty years had been resolved.

Trump’s initial plan also called for holding elections to succeed President Volodymyr Zelensky within 100 days of signing the agreement and placing Zaporizhya, Europe’s largest nuclear plant, under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, with electricity distributed equally between Ukraine and Russia.

No soldiers from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will be sent to Ukrainian territory, while Kiev will certainly abandon joining the military alliance. In return, Ukraine will receive “security guarantees” from NATO against any future attacks from Moscow.

The content of the proposal, which was reformulated by the American and Ukrainian delegations, is not yet known.
