Washington: The White House is working with Russian officials on a new plan aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, according to reports from U.S. media. The proposal is said to be a 28 point roadmap that covers peace efforts, long term security arrangements and the future of relations between the United States, Russia and Ukraine.

People familiar with the discussions say the plan is being shaped through quiet talks between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian representative Kirill Dmitriev. Early briefings have also been shared with some European governments and advisers to Ukraine’s leadership.

While the details of the plan have not been made public, sources say it includes ideas for a ceasefire, security guarantees for Ukraine and measures to stabilise Europe’s broader security environment. What remains unclear is how the proposal deals with territory currently controlled by Russian forces, an issue that has been central to both sides’ positions.

Ukraine’s response to the reported plan is still not known. Some European officials have expressed interest in a fresh push for diplomacy but have warned that any agreement must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and have strong international backing.

The White House has not commented publicly on the reports. Observers say the coming weeks will show whether this effort can move toward formal negotiations or whether major political differences will stall progress once again.
