The proposal is said to have been handed over to Ukraine and includes four areas: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe and the United States' future relations with Russia and Ukraine, writes the American news site Axios, citing Russian and American officials.
The British Financial Times reports, citing three sources, that the US-Russian peace plan includes, among other things, the demand for Ukraine to give up the eastern Donbass region, including areas that Ukraine still controls.
400,000 soldiers
The peace plan also stipulates that Ukraine will halve its military, according to the sources. Specifically, this means that the number of soldiers will be cut from the current 900,000 to 400,000, writes AFP.
Among the 28 points in the peace plan are also demands that Ukraine give up certain categories of weapons, that the United States withdraw its military support to the country, and that Russian be recognized as one of the official languages in Ukraine.
When it comes to military equipment, it involves long-range weapons, such as missiles with the capacity to reach, for example, the Russian capital Moscow.
What Russia will give up in return is “unclear,” a source told AFP. But the proposal contains similar demands that the Kremlin has unilaterally made in the past and that Ukraine has rejected as effectively tantamount to capitulation.
Meet in Miami
The points were reportedly formulated by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriyev at a meeting in Miami at the end of October.
The goal is to produce a written document before a supposed summit between Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin, according to Dmitriyev. Such a meeting was supposed to be held in Budapest in late October but was canceled citing the aggressor Russia's tough demands for Ukrainian land cessions.
Dmitriev tells Axios he is optimistic that he now feels that Russia’s position is “actually being listened to.” The Stanford-educated envoy is the head of the Russian State Direct Investment Fund and a close advisor to Putin.
