The US presented allies with proposals to enable a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, including an outline of terms to end the fighting and ease sanctions on Moscow in the event of a lasting ceasefire.
The push comes even as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested on Friday that the Trump administration is prepared to “move on” from its peace efforts unless progress is made quickly. US Vice President JD Vance, though, said in Rome on Friday he was “optimistic” about the chances of bringing the war to a close.
The contours of the US plan was shared during meetings in Paris on Thursday, according to European officials familiar with the matter.
The proposal would effectively freeze the war, with Ukrainian territories now occupied by Russia remaining under Moscow’s control, said the people. Kyiv’s aspirations of joining NATO would also be off the table. The people declined to provide further specifics, citing the confidential nature of the discussions.
