New Peace Proposal for Ukraine: A Controversial Plan A new peace proposal for Ukraine has emerged, suggesting significant concessions by Kyiv. The plan, drafted by the administration of former US President Donald Trump, aims to end the ongoing conflict in the region. According to reports, the proposal would require Ukraine to cede large parts of its territory to Russia, limit its military size, and prevent it from joining NATO.
