Key elements in Trump’s 28-point peace proposal and why much of it is unacceptable for Ukraine

Trump and Rubio support a 28-point peace plan negotiated with Russian and Ukrainian envoys amid Russian advances and EU funding disputes as Ukraine faces mounting battlefield losses.

  • President Donald Trump and state secretary Marco Rubio backed a 28-point peace plan with Russian and Ukrainian envoys, but Ukraine's objections blocked a planned summit.
  • Recent battlefield gains by the Russian army include sieges of Pokrovsk and approaching Kostiantynivka outskirts, while strikes on Ukraine's energy grid may trigger refugee flows to European Union member states in coming months.
  • The draft contains specific security limits, including a 600,000 cap on Ukraine's army, and the White House may trade legal recognition of Crimea for a ceasefire, the Kremlin confirmed receiving the plan with Putin framing recognition as key.
  • If the White House formalises recognition, observers warn it would undermine the post-1945 international legal order, while U.S. Congress can use funding, sanctions, and a sense of Congress resolution to raise political costs.
  • Moscow holds the initiative and dictates conditions, making any final accord likely less favourable to Ukraine; if implemented, the plan could see Ukraine cede land without equivalent gains and face further withdrawals in the Zaporizhzhia region.
