The United States has piled pressure on Ukraine and Russia to find a peace agreement, with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance threatening to walk away if a deal is not made.

So what does Washington want? Some official demands have already been made public-
- Ukraine gives up territory -
- Russia gets Crimea -
- Ukraine can't join NATO -
- Ukarine gets security guarantee -
- End Russia sanctions, reconstruct Ukraine -
- US gets Ukraine minerals -
US plan presented to Ukrainian officials last week, said that Washington could offer "de facto" recognition of Russia's occupation in Ukraine's Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
The US plan refers to a Trump-backed proposal that would give the United States royalty payments on profits from Ukrainian mining of resources and rare minerals.

Trump has framed the minerals deal as compensation for military and financial aid given to Kyiv by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
