Trump’s 28-Point Peace Draft for Ukraine: Key Proposals and Terms

President Donald Trump has presented a 28-point draft proposal aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. The document, reportedly prepared with input from both Washington and Moscow and presented in Kyiv, affirms Ukraine’s sovereignty while proposing a range of territorial, security and economic terms intended to secure a ceasefire and long-term political arrangements.

1. Ukraine’s sovereignty would be formally affirmed.

2. A comprehensive non-aggression agreement would be concluded among Russia, Ukraine and European states to resolve long-standing security ambiguities.

3. The agreement would include an expectation that Russia will not invade neighboring countries and that NATO will not expand further.

4. The United States would mediate a dialogue between Russia and NATO to address security concerns, reduce tensions and create conditions for de-escalation and future cooperation.

5. Ukraine would receive legally binding security guarantees.

6. The Ukrainian Armed Forces would be limited to 600,000 personnel.

7. Ukraine would enshrine in its constitution a commitment not to join NATO; NATO would amend its rules to bar future Ukrainian admission.

8. NATO would agree not to station troops on Ukrainian territory.

9. European fighter aircraft would be based in Poland.

10. U.S. security guarantee provisions would include multiple conditions:

— The United States would receive compensation for providing the guarantee.

— If Ukraine invades Russia, it would forfeit the U.S. guarantee.

— If Russia invades Ukraine, a decisive coordinated military response would follow and global sanctions could be reinstated; recognition of newly acquired territory and other benefits of the deal would be revoked.

— If Ukraine launches an unprovoked missile strike on Moscow or St. Petersburg, the security guarantee could be declared invalid.

11. Ukraine would remain eligible to join the EU and be granted short-term preferential access to European markets while membership is considered.

12. A large international reconstruction package would be established, including:

— Creation of a Ukraine Development Fund targeting fast-growing sectors such as technology, data centers and artificial intelligence.

— U.S.-Ukraine cooperation to rebuild, modernize and operate Ukraine’s gas infrastructure, including pipelines and storage.

— Joint rehabilitation and infrastructure projects to restore war-affected cities and residential areas.

— Mining and natural resource development.

— A World Bank special financing package to accelerate reconstruction.

13. Steps to reintegrate Russia into the global economy would be considered:

— Sanctions relief would be discussed in stages and evaluated case by case.

— The United States would pursue long-term economic cooperation with Russia in areas such as energy, infrastructure, AI, data centers and Arctic projects.

— Russia would be invited to rejoin the G8.

14. Use of frozen Russian assets would be structured as follows:

— $100 billion in frozen Russian funds would be allocated to U.S.-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine.

— The U.S. would receive 50% of the profits from this venture; Europe would add $100 billion to increase available reconstruction investment and would unfreeze its funds.

— Remaining frozen Russian assets would be placed in a separate U.S.-Russian investment vehicle to finance joint projects intended to strengthen ties and reduce incentives for renewed conflict.

15. A joint U.S.-Russian working group on security matters would be established to monitor and promote compliance with the agreement.

16. Russia would codify a policy of non-aggression toward Europe and Ukraine in its laws.

17. The United States and Russia would seek to extend nuclear non-proliferation and arms-control treaties, including START.

18. Ukraine would commit to remain a non-nuclear state under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

19. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant would be restarted under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision, with electricity output split equally—50:50—between Russia and Ukraine.

20. Educational and social programs would be implemented in both countries to promote tolerance and protect minority rights:

— Ukraine would adopt EU standards on religious tolerance and protections for linguistic minorities.

— Both countries would abolish discriminatory measures and guarantee media and educational rights for Ukrainian and Russian languages.

— All Nazi ideology and related activities would be rejected and prohibited.

21. Territorial provisions described in the draft include:

— Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk would be recognized as de facto Russian territory.

— Kherson and Zaporizhzhia would be frozen along the current line of contact, amounting to de facto recognition of that line.

— Russia would relinquish other contested territories by mutual agreement.

— Ukrainian forces would withdraw from parts of Donetsk Oblast they currently control; that withdrawal zone would be a neutral demilitarized buffer internationally recognized as Russian territory, with Russian forces not entering the buffer.

22. Both sides would pledge not to alter territorial arrangements by force; security guarantees would be void in the event of a breach.

23. Russia would not block Ukraine’s commercial use of the Dnieper River, and agreements would ensure continued grain transport across the Black Sea.

24. A humanitarian committee would be formed to resolve outstanding issues:

— An "all-for-all" exchange of remaining prisoners and the return of bodies would be arranged.

— All civilian detainees and hostages, including children, would be returned.

— A family reunification program and measures to assist war victims would be implemented.

25. Ukraine would hold national elections within 100 days.

26. All parties would receive broad amnesty for wartime actions and agree not to pursue future legal claims related to the conflict.

27. The agreement would be legally binding and monitored by a Peace Council chaired by President Donald J. Trump; sanctions would be imposed for violations.

28. Once all parties consent, a ceasefire would take effect immediately after both sides withdraw to agreed positions to begin implementation.

Context and caveats: This is a draft proposal and contains terms that would represent significant political and territorial concessions. Its legal force, the consent of all parties, and international responses remain uncertain. The plan pairs security guarantees and reconstruction incentives with major territorial and constitutional commitments by Ukraine and phased reintegration of Russia into the global economy.
