Ukraine announces that it has received the US plan for ending the war, which includes the cession of Donbas and the recognition of Crimea, sparking controversy in Europe.

Ukraine announced that it received a plan from the United States for ending the war with Russia, which President Volodymyr Zelensky will discuss with Donald Trump in the coming days. The document, which contains 28 points, was developed following Russian-American consultations and was not discussed with European allies, which has generated criticism. The plan would require Ukraine to completely cede the Donbas region and recognize the annexation of Crimea, limiting its armed forces to 400,000 soldiers. In return, Russia could return some occupied territories and accept security guarantees for Ukraine, without NATO membership. The White House has not commented on the plan, and American officials emphasize that peace will require concessions from both sides. The American delegation in Kiev discussed Ukraine's defense needs, in the context of a difficult situation on the front and a corruption scandal affecting Zelensky's position.
