Details of Donald Trump's plan to bring peace to war-torn Ukraine have reportedly been unveiled. The proposals were revealed hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested the White House was ready to "move on" from its efforts to end the conflict should no progress happen quickly.

An outline of the plan was shared during talks in Paris on Thursday, according to European officials cited by Bloomberg. According to the same publication, Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia would remain under Moscow’s control. Kyiv’s aim to join NATO would be off the table.

The sources declined to give further details, citing the confidential nature of the talks. Another meeting is expected next week in London. Mr Rubio suggested it could be decisive in determining whether the Trump administration continues its involvement.

Mr Rubio told reporters: "We are now reaching a point where we need to decide whether this is even possible or not. Because if it’s not, then I think we’re just going to move on. It’s not our war. We have other priorities to focus on."

He added the Trump administration wants to decide "in a matter of days".

Mr Rubio’s comments pile even more pressure on both sides to reach a peace deal. They came as the US and Ukraine made progress towards a minerals agreement which Mr Trump has sought in order to recoup billions of dollars in military assistance Washington has sent Ukraine.

Ukrainian Economy Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko has said she signed the deal with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. It is expected to pave the way for significant investments, infrastructure modernisation and long-term cooperation between the US and Ukraine.

The framework of the mineral deal stalled in February after a bombshell Oval Office meeting between Mr Trump, US Vice President JD Vance and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Mr Vance struck a more hopeful tone than Mr Rubio during a visit to Rome on Friday (April 18), ahead of talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

He said: "We think we have some interesting things to report on, of course in private." On the negotiations, he added: "I won’t prejudge them, but we do feel optimistic that we can hopefully bring this war, this very brutal war, to a close."

Despite apparent impatience with the peace efforts, Mr Rubio called Thursday’s talks constructive. He didn’t single out Russia or Ukraine as blocking peace efforts.

He said he had informed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov about the outlines which emerged, but wouldn’t say how he reacted.

When asked about Mr Rubio’s comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that "fairly complex" negotiations are ongoing between Russia and the US. He didn't give details, but said no direct talks between Mr Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled in the coming days.

Peskov said: "Russia is striving toward resolving this conflict, securing its own interests and is open to dialogue. We are continuing to do this."

He also stressed that a limited, 30-day ceasefire backed by Washington which both Russia and Ukraine last month embraced in principle has now lapsed. He didn't say what steps Moscow might take next.
