Secret Ukraine peace plan, why it’s causing outrage

As President Trump’s advisers continue their push to sell Russian President Vladimir Putin on a path toward ending the war in Ukraine, many in Washington and across Europe are still fixated on the first version of the peace plan, the leaked draft that drew immediate outrage from Kyiv and sharp criticism from Western officials.
The document was never a finished deal, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio; it's a “living, breathing” framework, one that would evolve. But the headline elements of the original draft give a clear sense of the direction negotiators were heading.
What the Leaked Plan Actually Proposed
According to CSIS’s analysis of the draft agreement, the biggest provisions included:
Territorial concessions: Ukraine would be required to accept Russia’s control of Crimea, Luhansk, and all of Donetsk, while freezing the current front lines in the south.
Military limits & NATO ban: Ukraine’s armed forces would be capped at 600,000 troops, and Kyiv would have to enshrine in its constitution that it will never join NATO.
U.S. “reliable” security guarantees: The U.S. offered commitments to defend Ukraine, but the draft says those guarantees could be canceled if Ukraine is accused of “attacking” Russia. Analysts flagged this language as vague and potentially unenforceable.
Elections and wartime amnesty: Ukraine would have to hold national elections within 100 days, and both sides would receive full amnesty for wartime actions.
