Washington. President Donald Trump presented a 28-point draft this week to end Russia's war in Ukraine, according to a document obtained Thursday by The Associated Press and reported across outlets. The draft would require Kyiv to cede territory, limit the size of Ukraine's military, and bar future NATO expansion. It would redirect $100 billion in frozen Russian assets toward rebuilding Ukraine and outline a pathway for Russia to rejoin global institutions and see sanctions lifted. U.S. and Russian officials reportedly collaborated on the text, and Ukrainian leaders discussed it in Kyiv Thursday. Based on 5 articles reviewed and supporting research.
