The United States has presented Ukraine with a so-called “final” peace proposal, which involves recognising Crimea as part of Russia and unofficially acknowledging Russian control over almost all territories occupied since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022.

Quote: “The one-page document the US presented Ukrainian officials in Paris last week describes this as President Trump’s ‘final offer’. The White House insists it’s ready to walk away if the parties don’t make a deal soon.”
Details: According to Axios, US President Donald Trump’s proposal entails significant concessions from his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had previously ruled out recognising Crimea as Russian, and acknowledging parts of four oblasts in Ukraine’s east and south as being under Russian control.
