"In the coming days, the President of Ukraine expects to discuss with President Trump the existing diplomatic opportunities and the key points required to achieve peace, Zelenskyy's office said. Several media outlets reported that the 28-point plan involves Ukraine ceding territory and weapons. Citing an unnamed US official with direct knowledge, Axios reported the plan would give Russia parts of eastern Ukraine that Moscow does not currently control, in exchange for a US security guarantee for Ukraine and Europe against future Russian aggression."
"US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US special envoy Steve Witkoff have been quietly working on the plan for a month, receiving input from both Ukrainians and Russians on terms that are acceptable to each side, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Thursday. She declined to comment on details of the emerging proposal, but said Trump has been briefed on it and supports it. It is a good plan for both Russia and Ukraine, and we believe it should be acceptable to both sides. And we are working hard to get it done, Leavitt said."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed he discussed a US-backed draft plan to end the war with US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll in Kyiv and received a copy of the draft. Zelenskyy expressed willingness to work with the United States on the plan and expects to discuss diplomatic opportunities and key points with President Trump in the coming days. Several media outlets reported the 28-point proposal would require Ukraine to cede territory and weapons, and Axios cited a US official saying the plan could award Russia parts of eastern Ukraine in exchange for US security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed US envoys received input from Ukrainians and Russians and said Trump supports the proposal.
