Leaked: Trump’s "Four Pillars" Peace Plan for Ukraine
Documents circulating in Kyiv suggest a controversial roadmap involving territorial recognition, a demilitarized zone in Donetsk, and a unique US-managed nuclear energy pact.
A sweeping new peace proposal attributed to the Trump administration has sent shockwaves through diplomatic channels in Kyiv and Brussels today. According to documents obtained by Ukrainian media, the plan represents a fundamental shift in Western strategy, moving from "support as long as it takes" to a structured, multi-lateral freeze of the conflict.
Unlike previous rumors, this is not a single treaty but a complex package of four distinct documents designed to bind the United States, Russia, Ukraine, and NATO simultaneously.

INTERACTIVECrossing the Red Lines: Territory
The most contentious aspect of the proposal concerns territorial integrity. The plan reportedly calls for the recognition of Russian control over Crimea, the Luhansk People's Republic (LNR), and the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR).
Furthermore, it mandates the creation of a demilitarized zone (DMZ) within the Donetsk region, a move that would require the Armed Forces of Ukraine to withdraw from current defensive positions.

Status: Recognized Russian Control.
The plan proposes official recognition of the 2014 annexation, crossing a major Ukrainian diplomatic red line.
The Nuclear Compromise
In a surprising economic twist, the documents outline a specific arrangement for the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). Rather than a full handover, the plan envisions a 50/50 split of the plant's electricity output between the belligerents.
To enforce this, the facility would operate under direct United States management, acting as a neutral guarantor for the energy distribution.

Security Guarantees vs. NATO
The security architecture proposes a stark trade-off. Moscow secures a guarantee that NATO will not expand eastward. In return, Ukraine receives "Framework Security Assurances" described as being "similar to Article 5," though the legal mechanism for this without NATO membership remains unclear.
