US and Russian officials have reportedly drafted a plan to end the war in Ukraine, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet Pentagon officials in Kyiv on Thursday for discussions.
The full details are not clear but the key tenets of the 28-point deal – reported first by Axios, the FT and the New York Times – are believed to include a demand for Ukraine to cede the rest of the Russian-occupied eastern Donbas region, cut its armed forces by half and reduce or altogether abandon certain types of weaponry, particularly long-range missiles that could hit targets in Russia.
That would mean Ukraine voluntarily handing over areas of its territory to Russia that Moscow has been unable to take by force.
