The US-brokered proposal requires Kyiv to make territorial concessions to Russia and to stay out of NATO.

The United States and Ukraine sought on Monday to narrow the gaps in a peace plan to end the war with Russia after agreeing to modify a U.S. proposal that Kyiv and its European allies saw as a Kremlin wish list.

The 28-point plan that the US has presented to Ukraine endorses some of Moscow's demands and leaves security guarantees for Kyiv vague.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faces a fraught, historic choice in the form of a 28-point peace plan proposed by the United States and Russia: He can accept a deal that looks to many Ukrainians like surrender, or he and his country can continue to fight a war they are slowly losing.

The US and Russia have drafted a new proposal to end the war in Ukraine. The document includes 28 points and talks about Kyiv ceding the eastern Donbas region and limiting the size of its military in exchange for security guarantees from Washington.

The document states Ukraine must cede land it currently controls. The plan closely resembles the list of demands repeatedly outlined by Vladimir Putin.
