THE Volodymyr Zelensky received today, November 20, the draft of the US proposal for ending the war between Ukraine and Russia.
“President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has officially received a plan from the United States, which, according to the assessment of the American side, could activate diplomacy,” said the announcement of the presidency published on Telegram regarding the proposal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.
“We are ready now, as before, to work constructively with the American side, as well as with our partners in Europe and around the world, so that the result is peace,” the statement posted on Telegram said.
Donald Trump’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine foresees – according to Axios citing a US official – that Russia will gain full de facto control of Lugansk and Donetsk (together referred to as Donbass), despite the fact that Kiev still controls about 14.5% of the territory there.
Under the Trump plan, the US and other countries would recognize Crimea and Donbass as legitimate Russian territory, but Ukraine would not have to.
A Ukrainian official said the plan also included restrictions on the size of the Ukrainian military and long-range weapons in exchange for US security guarantees.
The Ukrainian official also confirmed that the US plan includes territorial concessions by Ukraine in the Donbass.
