"Also on the call to discuss Trump's 20-point peace plan was Ukraine's top negotiator, Rustem Umerov, whom Zelensky said "will continue discussions with the American team." Ukraine has so far rejected aspects of the plan that would include major territorial losses and other concessions. Zoom in: Zelensky in his X post thanked Witkoff and Kushner for their "constructive approach" and said they "discussed certain substantive details" on the peace talks."
"Ukrainian officials believe that Umerov's continued discussions with the U.S. envoys is "the right approach - not to lose a single day or a single opportunity that can bring the result closer," Zelensky added. The other side: Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told reporters Thursday Russian officials were "seeing slow but steady progress" in peace talks with the U.S."
