Donald Trump reportedly aims to force a Ukraine-russia ceasefire by April 20, with plans circulating in diplomatic circles. The unconfirmed deal includes:

🔹 Ceasefire & Demilitarized Zone – Ukrainian troops leave russia’s Kursk region, while European forces (excluding the U.S.) monitor the ceasefire.
🔹 Ukraine’s NATO Ban & russian Gains – Kyiv would be barred from NATO and must accept russian sovereignty over annexed land.
🔹 Reconstruction Costs & Energy Sanctions – The EU to aid Ukraine’s rebuilding, while russian energy sanctions gradually lift, with duties funding reconstruction.
🔹 Peace Talks Timeline – Zelensky and Putin to hold talks by March, with a ceasefire declaration by April and a formal war-ending framework by May 9.
🔹 Continued U.S. Military Aid – Trump’s plan includes ongoing American support and Ukraine’s EU membership path by 2030.

Ukraine & russia Reject the Plan

Zelensky denies the plan’s existence, calling it russian propaganda. He insists Ukraine cannot be excluded from negotiations and that European voices must be involved.

russia’s foreign ministry dismisses the reports, saying the U.S. has provided no clear details on any ceasefire deal.

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues its counterattacks, striking a russian airfield used for drone launches, while France delivers its first Mirage fighter jets to aid Ukraine’s defense.

The war rages on as diplomatic uncertainty looms.
