The United States and Russia are secretly negotiating a peace plan for Ukraine
According to several US media outlets, this is a draft of 28 points on issues such as peace in Ukraine, security guarantees and security in Europe.
The US has informed Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski of a peace plan negotiated secretly with Russia, according to which, in order to end the war, Kiev would have to hand over part of Ukraine's eastern territory to Moscow, as well as reduce the size of the army, according to the Reuters news agency, citing two sources with direct knowledge of the talks.
Sources have called for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, and Trump believes that Ukraine should take on the main points of the plan, including handing over to Russia parts of Donbas that Kiev does not currently control and renouncing certain weapons systems.
A senior Ukrainian official has confirmed to Reuters that Kiev has received "signals" about some of the proposals directly negotiated with Russia and that Ukraine has not participated in those negotiations on the draft.
Axios has published on Wednesday, citing a US official, that the plan would include "security assurances from the United States to Ukraine and Europe" in exchange for handing over some Ukrainian territories to Moscow. In this regard, some European diplomats who have been asked about the matter have expressed doubts about the feasibility of this possibility, one of whom believes that it could be an attempt by Washington to "pressure Kiev," while another believes that the idea of reducing the Ukrainian army has been a "Russian demand."
