A newly surfaced development shows that the 28-point peace plan aimed at ending the war in Ukraine drew heavily from a Russian document submitted to the U.S. government in October. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the Russian side shared a non-paper outlining its conditions for ending the conflict shortly after a meeting between the U.S. president and the Ukrainian president in Washington.

The non-paper repeated several long-standing Russian positions, including territorial concessions in eastern Ukraine, which Kyiv has consistently rejected. This is the first confirmation that the document was used as a key reference in shaping the U.S.-supported plan.

Senior American officials, including the secretary of state, reviewed the Russian proposal, with some expressing doubts that Ukraine would accept its terms. Following the document’s submission, discussions continued between U.S. and Russian officials, including a call between the U.S. secretary of state and the Russian foreign minister.

Despite rising skepticism among lawmakers and officials who view the peace plan as closely aligned with Russian demands, Washington has encouraged Ukraine to consider the proposal. The plan’s development also involved meetings between U.S. envoys and Russian figures, with discussions reportedly expanding from an earlier draft referred to as a 20-point plan.
