President Donald Trump has reportedly threatened to cut intelligence sharing and weapons shipments should they fail to sign a brand new peace deal.

The 28-point deal was brokered by the U.S. to put an end to the bloody conflict between Ukraine and Russia. According to two sources on the matter, Washington was hoping to secure Ukraine’s signature on the agreement by next week.

It was reported that President Trump approved the deal this week and would require Ukraine to cede territory to their Russian foes. According to Ukrainian officials, the deal mirrors Moscow’s maximalist demands and revives concessions theKremlin had previously dropped.

Trump’s plan also calls for Ukraine to cut its military and limits the number of allies it is allowed to have. According to the Kyiv Independent, these concessions were discussed and dismissed in earlier rounds of negotiations.

Reports have also come through that President Volodymyr Zelensky has received “a draft plan which, according to the American side, could revitalize diplomacy.” According to Zelensky’s office, the president will discuss diplomatic options and other key elements necessary to achieve peace with Trump.

According to a source within Zelensky’s office, the plan was constructed by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who has also been in contact with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia‘s top economic negotiator. A senior official in the Trump administration revealed that the president has been briefed on the plan and supports it.

The outlet reported that the U.S. effectively excluded its European partners from the deal-making process and also failed to include Ukraine in the drafting of the agreement. It was reported that after a meeting with U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, Zelensky stated that teams from both countries will work on points to end the war.

“We are ready for constructive, honest, and efficient work,” said Zelensky. The military-led delegation will, after speaking with Ukrainian officials, travel to Moscow to talk with the heads of the Russian government and report their findings to the White House.

U.S. Col. Dave Butler reported that Ukraine has agreed to an “aggressive” timeline for the negotiations, describing the proposal as “a comprehensive plan.” U.S. Chargé d’Affaires to Ukraine Julie S. Davis touted that over the course of 36 hours, she has seen an “extraordinary pace of diplomatic activity,” describing it as the most ambitious she has seen in her 30-year diplomatic career.

A plan to end the war

Originating from talks between Washington and Moscow, the proposal seems heavily skewed in favor of Russia, which initiated the conflict nearly four years ago by invading its neighbor. According to a copy of the proposal obtained by the Associated Press, the first point of the plan states that Ukraine would be recognized as a sovereign nation

Additionally, a comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded among Russia, Ukraine, and Europe. All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled.

It will be expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries, and NATO will not expand further. A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for de-escalation in order to ensure global security and increase opportunities for cooperation and future economic development as well as several other points.
