An American proposal to end the war in Ukraine puts the country in a delicate diplomatic position — caught between placating its most important ally, the United States, and not capitulating to Russia,

"This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace," Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said about the Trump administration's 28-point proposal.

Reports indicate the U.S. and Russia have circulated a draft framework for a possible Ukraine peace deal, though Ukraine and European allies say they were not consulted. Media outlets report the plan could require Ukraine to give up territory and limit its military in exchange for security guarantees and reconstruction support.

The White House wants Kyiv to sign off on a “framework” to end the war in Ukraine based upon the U.S.-crafted 28-point peace plan by Thursday, according to three U.S. officials.

The United States and Russia have drawn up a plan to end the bitter fighting in Ukraine, which would require major concessions from Kyiv.
