"Envoys for United States President Donald Trump are due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss Washington's proposed peace plan to end the war in Ukraine. In advance of the meeting in Moscow on Tuesday, the White House said it was very optimistic about reaching a deal. However, Ukraine remains wary that despite meetings with US officials on Sunday and Monday, the proposal still reflects Russian demands that are difficult to accept."
"It quickly earned condemnation as a Russian wish list as it called for Ukraine to give up huge territory, limit its military, and abandon efforts to join NATO. The plan has since been altered, first with input from Kyiv alongside its European allies and then on Sunday and Monday in meetings between Ukrainian and US officials. The full details of the proposal as it stands have not been disclosed."
"Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, alongside the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, travels to the Russian capital as part of the renewed US diplomatic push to broker an end to the war in Ukraine, which was triggered in February 2022 when Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour.

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss a proposed US peace plan for the Ukraine war. The White House expressed strong optimism about reaching a deal, while Ukraine remains cautious, citing concerns that the plan mirrors Russian demands. A leaked 28-point draft drew criticism for calling on Ukraine to cede territory, curb its military, and abandon NATO aspirations. The proposal has been revised with input from Kyiv and European allies through meetings on Sunday and Monday, though full details have not been made public. Preserving Ukraine's territorial integrity is the principal negotiation challenge.
