Ukraine has received a draft peace plan from the United States, which Washington believes could help re-energise diplomatic efforts.
According to a statement from the Office of the President of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has received the U.S.-drafted “peace framework”. Zelenskyy outlined the key principles central to Ukraine’s position, and both sides agreed to continue working on the plan to achieve a just resolution.
The draft has been quietly developed over the past month by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, with input from both Ukraine and Russia, a senior U.S. official told Anadolu on Thursday. “Both sides will have to make concessions, not just Ukraine,” the official added, speaking on condition of anonymity.
President Donald Trump has been briefed on the proposal and supports it. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Trump “has been clear” that he wants the conflict to end, expressing frustration at both sides’ reluctance to commit to a peace agreement. She added that the administration remains committed to creating a “detailed and acceptable plan for both sides to stop the killing and establish a durable, lasting peace.”
Ukraine emphasises that it has sought peace “from the very first moments” of Russia’s invasion. Since the start of this year, Kyiv has publicly supported Trump’s initiatives aimed at ending the bloodshed and remains ready to work constructively with the United States, Europe, and other global partners.
In the coming days, Zelenskyy is expected to speak directly with Trump to discuss the diplomatic opportunities available and the key steps necessary to secure a lasting settlement.
