  1. Ukraine would be forced to lease part of its territory to Russia and reduce the size of its military under a plan drafted by US and Russian officials to end the war, according to reports.

    US envoy Steve Witkoff met with adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kirill Dmitriev, in Miami last month, it is understood.

    During the meeting, the pair thrashed out a 28-point draft proposal to end the war.

    A US official told [*NBC News*](https://www.nbcnews.com/world/ukraine/russia-ukraine-war-heacy-attack-ternopil-poland-aircraft-rcna244755) that US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were also involved in formulating the plan, and that Ukrainian officials had been consulted during its development, too.

    The official told the broadcaster the plan “focuses on giving both sides security guarantees to secure a lasting peace. It includes things Ukraine wants and needs to have a durable peace.”

    The reports came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara as part of his efforts to pressure Vladimir Putin.
