Trump approves peace plan for Ukraine: which territories and army are required to be given up

Peace Plan Between Russia and Ukraine

US President Donald Trump has approved a 28-point peace plan between Russia and Ukraine, developed in consultations with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Ukrainian officials. This plan involves significant concessions from Ukraine, including giving up part of its territories and reducing its armed forces.

The plan, approved on November 19, 2025, requires Ukraine to surrender the rest of Donbas, including territories currently under Kyiv's control. Additionally, the plan stipulates a halving of Ukraine's armed forces and the recognition of Russian as an official state language. Notable politicians involved in the formulation of this peace plan include:

• Steve Witkoff
• J.D. Vance
• Marco Rubio
• Jared Kushner

Washington has already signaled to Volodymyr Zelensky that he needs to accept the main points of the agreement. US Army Secretary Denn Driscoll and Army Chief of Staff General Randy George arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday morning to discuss this issue. Despite Ukraine not being involved in the formulation of the peace plan, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement emphasizing the importance of significant concessions.

Senator Lindsey Graham expressed his concern, noting that he was unaware of such a plan's existence. According to some experts, achieving peace requires providing both sides with security guarantees, as well as recognizing that ending the war in Ukraine will require serious and realistic ideas.

The Situation Around the Peace Plan

Thus, the situation surrounding the peace plan remains complex, and further actions from both sides could significantly impact the region's future. It is important to note that similar plans often face resistance from the population, especially when it comes to territorial concessions. The international community will also be closely monitoring the developments, as the implementation of such a plan could significantly alter the geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe.
