US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will unveil the contents of his proposed Ukraine peace plan within the coming days, potentially involving European troops in Ukraine to enforce a ceasefire agreement between Kiev and Moscow.

Speaking to reporters, Trump confirmed, "I will be giving you a full detail over the next three days. But we had very good meetings on Ukraine, Russia … We’ll see how that works."

The US ceasefire proposal has been months in the making, and Trump has threatened to end American involvement if both sides fail to respond promptly.

US ceasefire proposal may involve European troops in Ukraine

According to a senior administration official, as per the report, the plan may include a force composed of European troops to secure the ceasefire if both parties reach an agreement.

"The hard part is what does a security force look like, we’re calling that a ‘resiliency force,’" the official explained, adding that the force would serve as part of the security guarantees Ukraine seeks.

Another component under discussion is a separate peacekeeping force to monitor the ceasefire, potentially involving Russians, Ukrainians, and representatives from a neutral, non-NATO country to ensure compliance along the frontlines.

The US role would primarily be financial rather than involving US troops, the official noted.

Crimea recognition and land concessions key to talks

The proposal might also involve US recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. However, while Trump's first administration opposed such recognition, this shift reflects the complexities of settling. Ukraine has historically opposed acknowledging any annexed territory as Russian.

Discussions reportedly touched on the idea of de facto recognition of Russian-occupied regions, without formally ceding them. A senior US official said Ukraine may be willing to accept this form of compromise if it does not constitute de jure recognition.

Kiev and Moscow are currently reviewing the proposed terms. Ukraine’s Defense Minister Rustem Umerov reportedly indicated alignment with about 90% of the US plan during recent discussions in Paris, though he later denied making such a statement. Umerov reaffirmed Ukraine’s commitment to ending the war but stressed the need for a cease-fire that can be reliably enforced.

“Our key question is how to ensure the ceasefire proposal can work and be reliably monitored,” Umerov said, adding that Ukraine remains in constructive dialogue with US officials.
