Ukraine has handed the United States a revised 20-point peace proposal aimed at ending the war with Russia, a Ukrainian official said on Thursday, 11 December.
According to the report published by ABC News, the updated plan includes “some new ideas” on territorial arrangements.
Provisions concerning control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, one of the most sensitive and strategically important sites in the conflict, are also mentioned in the newer version of the peace proposal.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly warned in public statements throughout 2024 and 2025, that ongoing shelling and the Russian occupation of the facility pose “unacceptable nuclear-safety risks.”
No further details of the revisions were immediately provided, and U.S. officials have not yet commented publicly on the proposal.
The development comes as diplomatic efforts continue alongside intense fighting.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously said the peace framework must ensure security guarantees, including the withdrawal of Russian forces, and long-term stability for affected regions.
He said Washington’s current “mood” is geared toward compromise, but the territorial question remains unresolved.
The initial 28-point proposal presented by the United States called for Ukraine to surrender territory, accept restrictions on its armed forces and drop its bid for NATO membership.
For many Ukrainians such terms would amount to outright capitulation after nearly four years of Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has also renewed calls for long-term security guarantees from Western partners, especially as fighting in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions remains intense.
NATO, in statements published on its official website, has expressed concern about renewed Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, warning of heightened risks of regional escalation.
