The Trump administration’s draft peace plan to end the war in Ukraine has been published. Its authenticity has been confirmed by officials in Kyiv and Washington, though changes remain possible. Shortly beforehand, Verkhovna Rada member Oleksiy Honcharenko posted a Ukrainian version of the plan. As previously reported, the document contains 28 provisions.
According to the Financial Times, Trump’s team has intensified pressure on Kyiv, hoping the Ukrainian authorities will endorse the proposal in the coming days. Ukrainian officials told the newspaper that the White House expects President Volodymyr Zelensky’s signature before Thanksgiving, which the United States will observe on November 27.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Ukrainian authorities have sought to revise one of the plan’s key provisions. The dispute centers on a clause that called for an audit of international assistance provided during the war. A U.S. official told the newspaper that such a review was intended to uncover potential corruption. Ukraine, however, insisted on wording that would grant “full amnesty for actions committed during the war,” the outlet’s source said.
