Thomas Graham, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and former aide to the U.S. president, stated that a draft framework for a potential agreement to resolve the conflict in Ukraine could include several key components. Among them, he listed security guarantees, the unfreezing of Russian assets, the establishment of a committee for Ukraine’s reconstruction, and an agreement to halt further NATO expansion without the consent of all alliance members.

According to Graham, as cited by RBC, resolving the Ukrainian conflict cannot be achieved by signing a single document. Instead, it should be viewed as part of the wider issue of security across Europe.

The former presidential aide suggested that Moscow and Kiev could first agree on the basic principles of a future comprehensive settlement, which would then allow negotiations on all other aspects to begin.

He also noted that several separate negotiating platforms would likely be required, involving not only delegations from Russia and Ukraine but also other international participants. These discussions, he said, could cover a range of topics — including security guarantees under a model of «armed neutrality," NATO’s future role in Europe, territorial questions, the unfreezing of Russian assets, the reconstruction of Ukraine, and the protection of the rights of Russian-speaking citizens and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
