Kushner and Witkoff propose 10-year UN mandate for Ukraine peace plan

A reported peace plan for Ukraine, attributed to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, proposes a ceasefire along current front lines and a 10-year UN Security Council mandate to decide the status of occupied territories. The plan would place unoccupied Donbas under US control with a Puerto Rico-like status, demilitarize it, and have the US and China guarantee Ukraine's security. Ukraine would hold simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections within three months, while Russia would retain occupied territory and sanctions would be lifted. The proposal also includes using frozen Russian assets for reparations, discounted Russian energy supplies, and offshore investment for reconstruction. CNN reports that Russian strikes have killed over 2,700 Ukrainian civilians this year, the highest annual toll since the full-scale invasion began.
