A US-backed ceasefire plan to end the war in Ukraine would require Kyiv to give up some land currently controlled by Russian forces and make dramatic cuts to its military, according to reports by the AFP and Reuters news agencies.

The US wants Ukraine to accept the main points of the peace deal, sources who requested anonymity told Reuters news agency.

The new US plan expects Ukraine to grant Moscow part of eastern Ukraine it does not currently control in return for a US security guarantee for Kyiv and Europe against future Russian aggression, according to an Axios report.

The White House has refused to comment on the matter.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on X that Washington "will continue to develop a list of potential ideas for ending this war based on input from both sides of this conflict."

"Ending a complex and deadly war such as the one in Ukraine requires an extensive exchange of serious and realistic ideas. And achieving a durable peace will require both sides to agree to difficult but necessary concessions," Rubio said.

Kyiv has not been involved in preparing the proposals, a Ukrainian official told Reuters.

On Telegram, Zelenskyy did not comment on Washington's peace plan but called for effective US leadership to help bring an end to the war that has been dragging on for years now.

Zelenskiy said only the United States and U.S. President Donald Trump "have sufficient strength for the war to finally come to an end."
