Zelenskyy Receives U.S. Draft Peace Plan in Kyiv, Says Ukrainian and U.S. Teams Will Work on Its Points
On November 20, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met U.S. Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, and formally received a U.S.-drafted plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The Office of the President of Ukraine said in a statement that Zelenskyy had outlined to the American side the fundamental principles that matter to the Ukrainian people, and that the two sides agreed their teams would work on the points of the plan.
"Our teams, Ukraine and the USA, will work on the points of the plan to end the war," Zelenskyy wrote on social media. "We are ready for constructive, honest and prompt work." His office said Zelenskyy expected to speak with President Donald J. Trump in the coming days about the existing diplomatic opportunities and the key points required to achieve peace.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing that day that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff had been quietly working on the plan for about a month and that President Trump supports it. Col. Dave Butler, the U.S. Army's chief of public affairs, said Zelenskyy had agreed to move quickly toward agreement and the signing of a plan.
The plan has not been officially published, and the Ukrainian president's office did not comment on its content. According to Reuters, a draft text it had seen would require Ukraine to give up the entire Donbas region and significantly downsize its military, in exchange for U.S. security guarantees. The draft's contents have not been confirmed by either side.
