The alternative blueprint to end the war comes after Russia demanded major territorial concessions and President Trump said he would meet with Vladimir Putin this week.

European officials rejected Putin’s calls that Ukraine give up territories annexed during the war — demanding an immediate ceasefire from Moscow and NATO membership for Kyiv.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected the idea that his country would give up land to end the war with Russia. The Wall Street Journal reported that Ukrainian and European officials have presented Washington with a counterproposal.
