Ukraine loses land, no Nato and Russia back in the G8: What is in Trump’s 28-point plan to end the war?
A Trump administration proposal to end the war in Ukraine would force Kyiv into giving up land while compensating the United States for upholding the peace.
The 28-point plan, drawn up following talks between Washington and Moscow, offers a guarantee of US protection for Ukraine.
In return for Kyiv must give up on its NATO ambitions and European allies agree to not station troops in Ukraine, rebuffing British-led plans to deploy international peacekeepers.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said he would work with the US on “their vision” and talks are reportedly due to take place in the last week of November.
The plan is still only a framework but initial impressions show a proposal leaning heavily in Russia’s favour. Below we look at the details that have been revealed so far.
1. Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed.
2. A comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine and Europe. All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled.
3. It is expected that Russia will not invade neighbouring countries and NATO will not expand further.
4. A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for de-escalation in order to ensure global security and increase opportunities for cooperation and future economic development.
5. Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees.
6. The size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be limited to 600,000 personnel.
7. Ukraine agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO, and NATO agrees to include in its statutes a provision that Ukraine will not be admitted in the future.
8. NATO agrees not to station troops in Ukraine.
9. European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.
