Two sources familiar with the talks said Kyiv is facing its toughest pressure yet from Washington, which wants Ukraine to sign the agreement by next Thursday.

According to the report, the 28-point proposal incorporates several major Russian demands. It would require Ukraine to surrender additional territory, reduce the size of its military, and abandon its bid to join NATO. One source said the U.S. is determined to “stop the war” even if Kyiv must “pay the price.”
