WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly approved a comprehensive 28-point peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
According to senior U.S. administration officials, the plan emphasizes security guarantees for both sides and incorporates key elements Ukraine seeks for a durable peace.
The officials, speaking to international media, emphasized that the plan remains under negotiation with the main parties involved. They noted that the framework has yet to be formally presented to Kyiv, and Ukrainian officials have been informed only of its broad contours without detailed briefings or solicitations for input.
In tandem with diplomatic efforts, a U.S. military delegation led by Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll traveled to Kyiv this week. The mission focused on military strategy, technology, and supporting efforts to restart peace negotiations.
However, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed reports of any upcoming meetings with U.S. officials, stating there are “no such plans” for Russia to engage with Driscoll following recent talks in Kyiv.
Sources close to the Ukrainian government and European officials suggest that Ukraine was not involved in shaping the peace plan and was only briefed on its general outline.
Ukrainian officials view the timing of the proposal as politically motivated, coinciding with a corruption scandal within President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government, which they believe could be exploited by Russia to weaken Ukrainian leadership.
Russia has denied any official communication from the U.S. regarding the proposed peace agreement, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asserting that Moscow has not received any official information about “agreements” on Ukraine.
The recent diplomatic activity includes a meeting in Miami, Florida, where U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev discussed potential frameworks to end the conflict. The 28-point plan is reportedly inspired by Trump’s successful efforts to broker peace in Gaza.
