Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the US received an updated 20-point peace plan that includes security guarantees and an agreement for rebuilding Ukraine. The primary disputes center on the future status of eastern Donetsk and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. The US reportedly wants Ukrainian forces, but not Russian forces, to withdraw from parts of Donetsk to establish a demilitarized buffer and free economic zone. International leaders prepared a 'Coalition of the Willing' call on postwar security guarantees. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte warned Russia could be ready to threaten the alliance within five years. Zelenskyy said any territorial concessions must be put to a Ukrainian vote.
