Kyiv: Ukraine is facing one of its most difficult moments in the ongoing war with Russia as it responds to strong pressure from the United States to accept a new peace plan. The proposal, presented by US President Donald Trump, includes significant concessions that many Ukrainian leaders say they cannot accept without risking the country’s sovereignty and stability.

The 28 point plan calls for Ukraine to give up more territory currently claimed by Russia, limit the strength of its armed forces and permanently give up its goal of joining NATO. In exchange, Russia would pull back from some areas and receive gradual easing of international sanctions. Several points in the proposal are still unclear, including the nature of the security guarantees Washington says it will provide to Kyiv.
