Kushner-Witkoff Ukraine peace plan proposes UN-led settlement

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 includes US control over unoccupied Donbas with Puerto Rico-like status, demilitarization, US and Chinese security guarantees, and a Ukrainian ban on NATO membership until the UN decision. It also outlines war crimes prosecution, compensation from frozen Russian assets, sanctions relief, and simultaneous Ukrainian presidential and parliamentary elections within three months. CNN reports that Russian strikes have killed over 2,700 Ukrainian civilians this year, the highest annual toll since the full-scale invasion began. The plan's viability remains uncertain, with questions over whether key parties are aware of or support its terms.
