London's offer
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer addressed the Donald Trump administration with a proposal to develop an American draft peace agreement for Ukraine, reports Axios.
The idea is to create a clear roadmap for ending the war, with the United States playing a leading mediation role, similar to the initiative that Washington previously proposed for the Gaza Strip.
Analogy with the plan for the Middle East
As the publication notes, a plan for Gaza, developed by the Trump administration, provided for phased cessation of hostilities, release of hostages і international security guarantees.
Starmer suggested adapting this model to the Ukrainian context, with the participation of European partners and guarantees for Kyiv to avoid a new Russian invasion.
“We have to act systematically to end the war, but not at the expense of Ukraine's security,” the British prime minister said during an informal meeting with American diplomats.
Washington's reaction
According to Axios, The US administration considers this idea as one of the possible bases for negotiations, but has not yet made any concrete decisions.
The White House emphasises that Peace must be just and sustainable, and any proposals should take into account Kyiv's position.
