The US President Donald Trump’s “peace plan” project provides for 10-year security guarantees for Ukraine, similar to NATO’s Article 5, including a collective response to an attack.
According to Axios, the document includes commitments from the US and their European allies to consider an attack on Ukraine as an attack on the entire transatlantic community. The draft states that such an attack will be considered a threat to peace, and if necessary, may involve the use of military force. The plan, developed with 28 points in mind, was handed over to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
The guarantees are provided for 10 years with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement. The document requires signatures from Ukraine, the US, the EU, NATO, and Russia, although it is unclear whether the signature of Russian President Vladimir Putin is needed. A senior White House official stressed the need to discuss the plan with European partners, emphasizing that it may still be subject to change.
However, the plan will require significant concessions from Kyiv, such as recognizing Russian control over certain territories, amnesty, and lifting sanctions. The EU’s chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, noted that no peace plan can be discussed without the participation of Ukraine and Europe. Zelensky confirmed that work on the document will continue with the involvement of the US, European partners, and other countries.
