Trump Ukraine Peace Plan Would Cede Territory to Russia: Draft Proposal

President Donald Trump's draft proposal to end the war in Ukraine would require Kyiv to cede territory to Russia and accept limits on the size of its military, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press. The plan would also block any future expansion of NATO - a key demand of Moscow, which has long argued the alliance poses a strategic threat.

Under the proposal, $100 billion in frozen Russian assets would be redirected toward rebuilding Ukraine, and Russia would be offered a pathway back into the global financial system, including the eventual lifting of sanctions. The draft further outlines Russia's return to the Group of 8, restoring its seat among some of the world's largest economies.
