The United States has proposed a plan to end the war in Ukraine, requiring Kyiv to cede territory in Donbas, reduce its military size, and abandon certain weaponry, while recognizing Russian as an official language. Ukrainian officials view the proposal as favoring Russia and a potential “non-starter” without significant changes. President Zelenskyy emphasized the need for effective American leadership to achieve peace. While negotiations have stalled, there are ongoing discussions about resuming prisoner exchanges mediated by Turkey.
