Trump Approves 28-Point Peace Plan To End Russia-Ukraine War: Report | World News

According to NBC News, citing a senior administration official, US President Donald Trump has reportedly quietly approved the 28-article proposal aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war.

Senior members of Trump’s team have been cautiously shaping the framework over the past few weeks and have been in talks with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Ukrainian officials, according to the report. The process is said to reflect the approach behind Trump’s previous 20-point Gaza plan, which partially inspired this new proposal.

According to the report, US Special Representative for the Middle East Steve Witkoff is heading the initiative to shape the proposal, which is divided into four main components: ensuring peace in Ukraine, providing security guarantees, ensuring stability in Europe, and outlining future US relations with both Russia and Ukraine.

Officials confirmed Trump’s confirmation but declined to release details; He stated that the plan remains a draft and will be subject to negotiation among all key parties. Three US officials told NBC that the offer has not yet been formally presented to Ukraine and that its completion is in line with the upcoming visit of a US Army delegation to Kiev.

U.S. and European officials said the American delegation arrived in Kiev on Wednesday with two main goals: to discuss military strategy and technological needs with Ukrainian leaders and to help revive a peace process that has stalled while the war continues.

Peace talks on Ukraine have ground to a halt since Trump and Putin met in Alaska in August. Russia rejected Trump’s call last month for an immediate halt to hostilities, leading Trump to cancel a planned summit in Hungary and impose sanctions on the country’s two largest oil companies.

Russia-Ukraine War

Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 sparked the largest conflict in Europe in decades. Fighting remains intense in the east and south, where drone strikes, missile strikes and heavy ground battles have destroyed towns and displaced millions. With neither side failing to make decisive gains and human casualties continuing to mount, the newly drafted peace plan is being closely watched for any signs that the long and brutal war may finally be moving towards de-escalation.
