US President Donald Trump has intensified pressure on Kiev after warning that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would have to "fight his little heart out" if he refuses Washington's new proposal to end the war.

"We're trying to get it ended, one way or the other, we have to get it ended," Trump told reporters, adding that he does not consider the draft agreement final and insisting the conflict would never have erupted had he been in office earlier.

"I would like to get to PEACE... We're trying to get it ended. One way or the other, we have to get it ended," says @POTUS on his Russia-Ukraine peace proposal.

The comments coincided with new disclosures about the contents of the administration's 28-point peace outline, which US officials say Trump has already approved. According to those briefed on the document, the plan would dramatically shift the trajectory of the conflict and has already generated significant criticism across Europe and Ukraine.

Terms favor Russia

The proposal calls for Ukraine to withdraw from the remaining areas it controls in Donetsk, while the entirety of the Donbass region would be treated as Russian territory under the settlement. The US and participating states would also recognize Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk as Russian, while freezing positions in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia along current front lines. A demilitarized zone would be established in the east under outside monitoring.

On security matters, the plan envisions Ukraine halting its NATO membership ambitions, adhering to non-nuclear status, and operating under a set of "NATO-style" security guarantees coordinated by Washington. It further restricts the size of Ukraine's army to around 600,000 personnel, prohibits foreign troops on Ukrainian soil, and bars long-range weapons systems.

Several economic components are included as well. Sanctions on Moscow would be rolled back in phases, Russian sovereign assets would be partially redirected to Ukraine's reconstruction and partially used for joint US-Russian economic projects, and a broader economic reintegration path for Russia is outlined. The draft also proposes bringing the Zaporozhye nuclear plant back online under IAEA supervision, with energy output shared between Russia and Ukraine. A clause leaning toward broad wartime amnesty for both sides has also raised alarms among legal experts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin offered a favorable reaction on Friday, saying Trump's proposal "could form a basis for a final settlement in Ukraine," a signal that Moscow sees the framework as compatible with its strategic objectives.
