Trump's Russia-Ukraine peace plan calls calls for end of NATO expansion: report

A news report published Thursday states President Donald Trump's 28-point peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war includes an agreement to stop the expansion of NATO and would use $100 billion in frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.

Initial reports Wednesday on the plan by Axios, The Financial Times and The New York Times did not appear to include information about NATO and the $100 billion, as reported Thursday by the Associated Press, which obtained and reviewed the draft document. 

The peace plan includes several concessions from both sides, but Ukrainians have criticized it as being more in favor of Russia because it would reportedly require Ukraine to cede certain territory, including the Donbas region.

The proposal, drafted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, promises that not only would Ukraine not join the NATO alliance, but no other country ever would either, the wire service also reports. 

Russia would also have to make concessions, like promising not to attack Ukraine again and giving up $100 billion in frozen assets that would instead rebuild its neighbor, according to the wire service. 

The plan would also recognize Russian as an official national language, accept the Russian branch of the Orthodox Church, cut Ukraine's military by half, force Ukraine to forego various long-range and heavy weapons, and ban foreign troops from Ukraine's soil, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
