What is in Trump's 28-point Ukraine-Russia peace plan
What's the story
United States President Donald Trump has proposed a 28-point peace plan to end the ongoing war in Ukraine. The proposal, drafted by Russian and US officials, includes ceding Ukrainian territory to Russia and barring Ukraine from joining NATO. The plan also calls for Russia's readmission to the G8 after nearly four years of sanctions. It would require Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to make significant concessions but also includes NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine, a senior US official said.
Territorial changes
Ukraine to cede Donbas region, reduce army size
Under Trump's plan, Ukraine would hand over the Donbas region, and Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk would be recognized as "de facto Russian" by the US. Additionally, Ukraine's army would be reduced to 600,000 personnel, and NATO troops would not be stationed in Ukraine. The plan also states that Ukraine will receive "reliable security guarantees," but does not clarify what these are. This proposal contradicts previous Ukrainian demands and aligns with Moscow's maximalist demands.
Economic terms
Russia's G8 readmission, economic reintegration proposed
The plan also proposes Russia's reintegration into the global economy and its readmission to the G8. It states that all sanctions would be reimposed if Russia invades Ukraine again. In addition, $100 billion in frozen Russian assets would be used to rebuild Ukraine, while the rest would be invested in a separate US-Russian investment fund "aimed at strengthening relations and increasing common interests to create a strong incentive not to return to conflict."

Diplomatic tensions
Ukraine's cautious response, European allies' concerns
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has said he expects to discuss the plan with Trump soon. Zelenskky said he "appreciated the efforts of President Trump and his team to return security to Europe." However, some Ukrainian officials have called it "absurd" and a "capitulation." The proposal is likely to be rejected by Ukraine's European allies, who insist on being part of peace talks due to its implications for continental security.
Social initiatives
Plan includes educational programs, elections in Ukraine
The plan also calls for elections in Ukraine within 100 days and the implementation of educational programs to promote cultural understanding and tolerance. An unnamed senior US official told CBS News that the plan "was drawn up immediately following discussions with one of the most senior members of President Zelensky's administration, Rustem Umerov, who agreed to the majority of the plan, after making several modifications, and presented it to President Zelensky."
