AMNA NAWAZ: "PBS News Hour" has obtained# the 28-point plan drafted by the Trump## administration to try to end the war in# Ukraine.

The document is at the center## of a pivotal ongoing diplomatic visit to# Kyiv by U.S.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.

It references Ukrainian security guarantees,# but also demands Ukraine give up territory,## cap the size of its military,# and blocks NATO from sending## troops to Ukraine.

U.S.

officials# emphasize, it is a working document.

Here's Nick Schifrin with more.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Today, in Ukraine, grief.# Residents of the Western city of Ternopil## honor children killed yesterday by a Russian# missile that cut this apartment building in## half.

It's the kind of attack that has# pushed Ukraine to demand punishment.

But the Trump administration says it's pushing for# peace.

Secretary of the U.S.

Army Dan Driscoll,## the Army's civilian leader, is in Kyiv on# an unusual diplomatic mission and today## gave Ukrainian President Volodymyr# Zelenskyy a new American framework.

It would include security guarantees that# Ukraine has been demanding.

But the Trump## administration has made clear both sides will need# to make compromises.

And the full 28-point plan,## received and provided to "PBS News# Hour" by a senior European official,## not only includes security guarantees for# Ukraine, but also longstanding Russian demands.

Ukraine would have to limit the size of its# military.

NATO would not be allowed to send## any troops into Ukraine.

And Ukraine would# have to give up the portion of the Donetsk## region that it still controls that Russia# has failed to capture despite 11 years of## war.

That territory would be internationally# recognized as Russian, but demilitarized.

That would give Russia control over the entire# Donbass.

The U.S.

would then recognize the## Donbass, occupied Crimea and the occupied# portions of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson as## de facto Russian.

In addition, NATO would# change its language to not admit Ukraine in## the future.

The U.S.

would lift sanctions on# Russia in stages and on a case-by-case basis.

All parties would receive -- quote --# "full amnesty" for their actions.

And## $100 billion of frozen Russian assets would be# earmarked for Ukrainian reconstruction.

Tonight,## Zelenskyy said he would negotiate off the# text presented by Driscoll constructively.

VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY, Ukrainian President# (through translator): We agreed that our## teams will work on these proposals to# ensure it's all genuine.

We will not## make any sharp statements, and we're# geared up for clear and honest work.

KAROLINE LEAVITT, White House Press# Secretary: Good afternoon, everybody.

NICK SCHIFRIN: At the White House,# spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said## the 28-point plan had been quietly# developed over the last month by## special envoy Steve Witkoff and# Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

KAROLINE LEAVITT: They have been engaging# with both sides, Russia and Ukraine equally,## to understand what these countries# would commit to in order to see a## lasting and durable peace.

The president# supports this plan.

It's a good plan for## both Russia and Ukraine.

And we believe# that it should be acceptable to both sides.

NICK SCHIFRIN: On a rare trip to the front line,# Russian President Vladimir Putin maintained## his version of what's acceptable, once again# describing Ukraine's government as illegitimate.

VLADIMIR PUTIN, Russian President (through# translator): A group of individuals,## this criminal group, an organized criminal# community that has usurped power and under## the pretext of the need to continue# the war with Russia, is holding power## in Ukraine for personal enrichment.

But# we all have our own goals.

The main one,## of course, is achieving the goals# of the special military operation.

NICK SCHIFRIN: But for the European countries# that have collectively provided as many weapons## to Ukraine as the U.S., the U.S.

'# 28-point plan missed the main point E.U.

foreign policy Kaja Kallas.

KAJA KALLAS, European Foreign Policy Chief:# The pressure must be on the aggressor,## not on the victim.

Rewarding aggression# will only invite more of it.

The E.U.## has a very clear two-point plan, first,# weaken Russia, second, support Ukraine.

NICK SCHIFRIN: French Foreign# Minister Jean-Noel Barrot: JEAN-NOEL BARROT, French Europe and Foreign# Affairs Minister (through translator): Peace## cannot mean capi.. the Ukrainians, who have heroically# resisted Russia's uninhibited aggression## for more than three years, will never# accept any form of capitulation.

NICK SCHIFRIN: And, tonight, White House# spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt released a## statement that concludes -- quote -- "This plan# was crafted to reflect the realities of the## situation after five years of devastating# war to find the best win-win scenario,## where both parties gain more# than they must give" -- Amna.

AMNA NAWAZ: Nick, I know you have been talking to## officials and analysts to get their take# on this plan.

.. NICK SCHIFRIN: A senior European official# who hopes to help Ukraine resist Russia## believes that Europe can help edit these# points, so that they are more pro-Ukrainian.

And analysts who are along those same lines fear# that there's too many poison pills in this plan.## Number one, it limits the size of the Ukrainian# military, while not putting any limits on the## size of the Russian military.

And the language# on nonaggression is really nonenforceable,## as one person put it, meaning Ukraine# will not be self-reliant in the future.

Number two, no punishment of Russia for widespread# war crimes, despite language in there that we## reported about $100 billion of currently frozen# assets going for reconstruction, and changes## NATO's Constitution, very difficult.

Analysts who# want this to work tell me, look, there needs to be## a concrete framework for Ukrainian security# guarantees if this is ever going to work.

AMNA NAWAZ: Nick Schifrin, great# reporting, as always.

Thank you.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Thank you.
