US EditionWhy Russia Hates Trump’s New 19-Point Ukraine Plan — and Europe Is Worried
Russia insists the peace plan must adhere to agreements made by Putin and Trump in Anchorage while Kyiv accepts the draft omitting key issues, including NATO and territory.
- On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Moscow may reject a revised US-backed 19-point framework if it erases Anchorage understandings, while Kyiv has cautiously accepted the draft.
- The Anchorage summit provided the basis for Trump's original plan, which barred NATO membership, capped Ukraine's army at 600,000, proposed handing the rest of Donbas to Russia, and mandated elections within 100 days, though many clauses were later amended.
- Washington has dispatched senior defence officials to the United Arab Emirates , where US Army secretary Dan Driscoll engaged Ukrainian intelligence and a Russian delegation, while it remains unclear if all three will meet face-to-face.
- European capitals moved quickly after last week's proposal, with Emmanuel Macron warning that `capitulation` would endanger Europe, amid Ukraine's reported agreement to an 800,000-troop cap, officials close to Zelenskyy said.
- Diplomatic wrangling continues amid ongoing fighting, with the 19-point draft omitting territory and long-term security guarantees, deferring these to future Trump–Zelenskyy talks while recent strikes killed some six civilians last week.
