Axios reported the information.President Trump's peace proposal for Ukraine includes a security guarantee patterned on NATO's Article 5, committing the U.S. and European allies to treat any attack on Ukraine as an attack on the entire "transatlantic community," according to documents reviewed by the publication.The 28-point plan, presented by U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to President Zelenskyy on Thursday, promises that "Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees." A separate draft agreement specifies that any "significant, deliberate, and sustained armed attack" by Russia on Ukraine "shall be regarded as an attack threatening the peace and security of the transatlantic community," with the U.S. and allies prepared to respond militarily if necessary.The proposed guarantee would remain in effect for an initial 10-year period and could be extended by mutual agreement. The document includes signature lines for Ukraine, the U.S., the EU, NATO, and Russia, though it remains unclear whether Putin's signature would be required. A senior White House official confirmed that Russia has been briefed on the proposal.Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, who led the drafting effort, discussed the security guarantee with Zelenskyy's national security adviser Rustem Umerov over the weekend. A White House official described the proposal as a "big win" for Ukraine's long-term security, though the official cautioned that the agreement will require discussion with European partners and could still be modified.The plan demands significant Ukrainian territorial concessions and would involve lifting sanctions on Russia and granting amnesty for war crimes—a trade-off that could expose Trump to criticism from his America First supporters, given the military commitment it would entail.On November 19, Axios reported that the White House is quietly working with Moscow on a comprehensive framework to end the war in Ukraine, drawing inspiration from the recent Gaza ceasefire deal.According to Reuters, the U.S. has signaled to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukraine must accept a U.S.-drafted framework to end the war with Russia that proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons.The author of the Resurgam Telegram channel noted that the leaked details of a purported 28-point peace plan raise suspicions about the motives behind the disclosure and the credibility of sources involved in the negotiations.
