The United States has presented Ukraine with a controversial peace proposal that echoes many of Russia's key demands, including territorial recognition of occupied regions and a significant reduction of Ukraine's military forces. The plan, reportedly developed by the Trump administration in consultation with Moscow, would require Ukraine to recognize Russian control of Crimea and other occupied territories while reducing its army by more than half. EU officials have emphasized that any settlement must have agreement from both Ukraine and European partners.
