Trump has approved a new 28-point peace plan for Ukraine – media

U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a new peace plan for settling the conflict in Ukraine, which has been quietly developed over the past few weeks through consultations with Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Ukrainian officials.

This was reported by NBC News, citing a White House source.

On the American side, those involved in drafting the document included Trump’s special envoy Stephen Witkoff, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

“The plan is aimed at providing security guarantees to both sides to ensure a lasting peace,” a senior White House official told reporters.

Ukraine has yet to be briefed on the final terms of the peace agreement. At the same time, Ukrainian sources say they did not participate in drafting the plan.

Notably, yesterday Axios reported that NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov, who had traveled to the U.S., took part in work on the plan but rejected some of the points proposed by the Americans, after which Witkoff refused to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky and Andriy Yermak in Ankara.

“Ukraine was informed about the general outlines of the plan but did not receive a detailed briefing and was not invited to provide its comments,” the article says.

According to NBC, the Pentagon delegation currently in Kyiv will also be involved in promoting the peace plan. One of its tasks is “mapping the front line to support a possible peace process” — apparently, determining what the line of separation would look like.

And The Wall Street Journal provides new details of the peace plan: according to the outlet, it includes a temporary refusal by Ukraine to join NATO.

The paper also confirms that the plan contains a ban on deploying foreign troops “for at least several years.” As the article notes, Trump “does not see it as his goal” to return all occupied territories to Ukraine.

In exchange, Washington expects Moscow to provide guarantees of non-aggression against Ukraine and other European countries in the future.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Rubio has effectively confirmed media reports about Trump’s new peace plan. According to him, the U.S. is working on a way to stop the war based on proposals from Kyiv and Moscow. He also called on Ukraine and Russia to make “difficult concessions.”

“Ending a complex and deadly war like the one being fought in Ukraine requires a broad exchange of serious and realistic ideas. Achieving a lasting peace will require both sides to make difficult but necessary concessions. That is why we continue to develop a list of possible ideas to end this war, based on proposals from both sides of the conflict,” Rubio wrote on X.
