"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Paris on Monday, where he will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss continued European support for Kyiv as US President Donald Trump seeks to push Zelenskyy to make harsh concessions to aggressor Russia in hopes of ending Vladimir Putin's nearly four-year invasion. On Sunday, US and Ukrainian negotiators held "productive" meetings in Florida, where peace proposals were discussed."
"The US previously released a 28-point plan to negotiate an end to the war, though Kyiv and leaders across Europea felt the US plan was far too favorable to Russia, prompting a 20-point counterproposal. On Sunday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barott said, "Peace is within reach, if (Russian President) Vladimir Putin abandons his delusional hope of reconstituting the Soviet empire by first subjugating Ukraine.""
"Zelenskyy is dealing with the dual impact of intensified Russian military aggression in the form of conventional warfare along the line of engagement in eastern Ukraine and massive nightly drone and missile assaults on the the civilian population of the capital Kyiv, as well as internal government turmoil in the wake of corruption allegations that forced his chief of staff and righthand man Adreiy Yermak to resign on Friday."
