Zelenskyy’s Office Reacts to Trump's Advisers’ Alleged "Peace Plan" Involving NATO Neutrality and Frontline Freeze

Ukraine’s President's Office has expressed doubts about the credibility of the peace plan attributed to the advisers of US President-elect Donald Trump, which allegedly includes freezing the front line and forgoing NATO membership for Ukraine.

The alleged plan was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing informed sources.

"In general, it's safe to say that real presidential plans are rarely announced in newspapers. And Russian disinformation in the press is always plentiful," said Presidential Adviser Dmytro Lytvyn on Thursday in response to a request to comment on the published plan.

According to The Wall Street Journal, citing its own sources, Trump has not yet approved any peace plan; however, his advisers are reportedly recommending he push for a freeze in the war in Ukraine and pressure Ukraine to pause its NATO membership ambitions.

Three sources indicate that one proposal suggests Ukraine commit to not joining NATO for at least 20 years, in exchange for continued US military support to Ukraine's Armed Forces in the war against Russia. The proposal also includes the creation of a demilitarized zone, though it does not specify who would control it.

Another plan reportedly considered by Trump’s team involves halting US weapons supplies to Ukraine until it agrees to diplomatic negotiations with Russia, including talks on regaining lost territories.

The publication notes that Trump’s chosen strategy remains unclear, but it will inevitably face challenges. Ukraine and Russia pursue entirely different military objectives with no intent to alter them, making it difficult to push Vladimir Putin into negotiations.

Additionally, the Ukrainian public firmly opposes any territorial concessions. Strong resistance is also expected from certain NATO allies who view Russia's aggression against Ukraine as a direct threat to their own countries.

As reported, before the US presidential election, Republican candidate Donald Trump repeatedly promised to quickly end the war in Ukraine if elected, though he did not specify how he would achieve this.

On November 6, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with President-elect Trump, offering his congratulations on what he called a “historic and decisive victory.”

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal expressed optimism about continued US support for Ukraine following Donald Trump’s election. Speaking at the Kyiv International Economic Forum on November 7, Shmyhal said he expects “clear and quick actions” from the incoming American administration on issues critical to Ukraine’s security and stability.
