Trump's Proposed Peace Line: The Unfiltered Version
- Legitimizing Russia's control over Crimea.
- Securing Moscow's grip on contested territories in four Ukrainian regions: Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, regions currently held by Russian forces since the 2022 invasion's onset.
- Limited territorial return to Ukraine, encompassing parts of Kharkiv, with un impeded shipping access for Ukrainian vessels through the Dnieper River's southwestern frontier.
- Ukraine tossing its NATO membership aspirations, with potential EU accession on the table.
- Lifting of sanctions on Russia, including those related to the Crimea annexation, and fostering expanded economic collaboration, focusing on energy and industry sectors.
- A coalition of European nations taking responsibility for Ukraine's security. No mention of U.S. involvement. Post-war reconstruction aids to Ukraine.
- The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant remaining under Ukrainian governance but operated under U.S. supervision, with electricity generation benefiting both Ukraine and Russia.
- Ukraine securing a mineral resources deal with the U.S.
Ukraine's Response: Steadfast and Firm

Zelensky further specified that only NATO member nations possess veto power over Ukraine's potential NATO accession.
