The Telegraph has revealed what it claims to be the entire 28-point plan put forward by US President Donald Trump’s team to end the war in Ukraine.
If implemented, the reported deal would see Ukraine forced to accept whittling its military down to 600,000 personnel, a ban on joining NATO or owning long-range missiles, and elections within 100 days.

Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk would be recognised as “de facto Russian” in the unconfirmed document, while Kherson and Zaporizhzhia would remain frozen along the line of contact. Kyiv would be forbidden from using military force to reclaim occupied territories.
Meanwhile, the US and Russia would deepen economic cooperation with a slate of new deals and all frozen assets would be passed back to Russia with the exception of $100bn earmarked for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Europe would also contribute $100bn to this fund.
Washington and Moscow would deepen their long-term economic cooperation “in the areas of energy, natural resources, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centres, rare earth metal extraction projects in the Arctic, and other mutually beneficial corporate opportunities.”
The reported document states that strengthening relations between Washington and Moscow in this manner would “create a strong incentive not to return to conflict.”
In fact, the document claims, Russia would enshrine a “policy of non-aggression towards Europe and Ukraine” in its legislation.

A senior US administration official told NBC News that Trump had officially approved the plan, which was reportedly developed furtively over the course of some weeks in talks involving special envoy Steve Witkoff, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner and Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
According to The Telegraph, sources in Kyiv have been highly critical of Ukraine’s Western partners, especially Britain, for not “coming out in force to condemn the proposal.”
On Thursday, reports claimed that President Volodymyr Zelensky had told US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll that he would work with the Trump administration on the plan.
A US official told Axios that Zelensky and Driscoll had “agreed on an aggressive timeline for signature.”
Zelensky is set to speak with Trump in the coming days, while a high-ranking US delegation is likely to travel to Moscow to continue negotiations.
