A draft 28-point plan backed by United States President Donald Trump would require Ukraine to offer territorial and security concessions to Moscow, while Russia would be readmitted to the G8 group and receive sanctions relief.
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. "The president supports this plan. It's a good plan for both Russia and Ukraine," she told reporters. Trump himself would preside over a "Board of Peace" to oversee the ceasefire, similar to the one proposed for the Gaza truce between Israel and Hamas.
