  • Mechanisms will be established to ensure long-term peace and security after the conflict ends.
  • Russia and Ukraine commit to adhering to a ceasefire at all levels — on land, in the air, and at sea.
  • Negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv regarding ceasefire monitoring will begin with the participation of third countries.
  • Compliance with the ceasefire will be monitored by Ukraine’s allies under US leadership, primarily using remote technologies: satellites, drones, and digital tools.
  • A mechanism will be implemented to document violations and discuss ways to address them.
  • Russia will return all illegally taken Ukrainian children, and the process will be monitored by international partners.
  • The parties will conduct a prisoner exchange based on the formula “all for all,” with Russia releasing all civilian hostages.
  • Territorial negotiations will take place along the current front line.
  • Humanitarian aid will commence after a stable ceasefire, and family visits across the contact line will be permitted.
  • Ukraine’s sovereignty will be affirmed — there will be no demands for “neutrality.”
  • Ukraine will receive legally guaranteed security assurances, including American ones, similar to NATO’s Article 5.
  • There will be no restrictions on the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the defense industry.
  • European countries and other partners will act as security guarantors; Ukraine will be able to host foreign troops on its territory.
  • Ukraine’s accession to NATO is possible only with unanimous consent from all member countries of the alliance.
  • Ukraine will become a member of the European Union.
  • Kyiv confirms its intention to remain a non-nuclear state and adhere to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
  • Territorial issues will be resolved only after a complete ceasefire.
  • Once borders are agreed upon, neither party has the right to change them by force.
  • Ukraine will regain control over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant with the involvement of the US and over the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station; a mechanism for transferring control will be established.
  • Kyiv will ensure unhindered navigation on the Dnipro River and control over the Kinburn Spit.
  • Ukraine and its partners may engage in economic cooperation without restrictions.
  • Ukraine will be rebuilt and compensated for damages — in particular, from frozen Russian assets.
  • Sanctions against Russia may be gradually eased after peace is achieved, but may be reinstated in the event of new violations.
  • Negotiations on the architecture of European security will begin with the participation of all OSCE countries.
