The Trump administration is developing an initiative to end the conflict in Ukraine using the Korean scenario, which envisions dividing the country along a fixed demarcation line. This was reported by The Washington Post, citing White House sources.

The proposal is formulated in three documents: a basic peace agreement, a package of security guarantees, and an economic recovery program. A demilitarized zone is planned to be established along the ceasefire line from the Donetsk region to Kherson, followed by a wider buffer strip where the deployment of heavy weapons will be prohibited.

American diplomats are discussing territorial exchanges and border delineation options with Kyiv and their European partners. An approach similar to the Korean one is possible, with a delayed decision on the status of the disputed areas. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will not be transferred to Russian control, and Washington could assume control.

The United States intends to expedite Ukraine's accession to the European Union by 2027, pressuring Hungary to remove potential obstacles. According to the American side, EU membership will stimulate trade and investment and help control corruption in the country.

In the security sphere, the United States is offering Kyiv guarantees comparable to NATO's Article 5, subject to congressional ratification, to ensure Ukraine's sovereignty without a Russian veto. The possibility of increasing the army's size limit from 600,000 to 800,000 is being discussed, but the Ukrainian side rejects any formal limits.

To finance the recovery, Trump proposes allocating $100 billion from frozen Russian assets, with the potential for increasing this amount. Furthermore, consultations are underway with BlackRock and the World Bank on the launch of a $400 billion Ukrainian Development Fund, with similar investments being considered for Russia.
