On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone for an hour and a half. It was a conversation that Sergei Naryshkin, the chief of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service would later describe as “deep and meaningful.” The same day, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth briefed Nato partners on the cornerstones of the US’ new Ukraine policy.
This come on the heels of a leak by the Ukrainian online news outlet strana.today, that last week published the details of what it claimed was a US “100-day peace plan” for Ukraine. The plan has not been officially confirmed.
But how does Trump’s administration envisage peace? Here’s an overview. If the leaked information from strana.today is to be believed, a ceasefire in Ukraine should be in place by April 20. It will freeze the war along the frontline in eastern Ukraine, but require the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Russian region of Kursk.
The plan apparently also foresees forcing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to recognize Russian sovereignty over Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories. So far, Zelensky has rejected this demand.
