"Volodymyr Zelenskyy is to travel to the US for a planned meeting with Donald Trump on Sunday, as Washington continues to push for a possible peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow. The Ukrainian president announced the visit on Friday in a social media post, saying he had received a briefing from Rustem Umerov, the secretary of Ukraine's national security and defence council, on new contacts with US officials."
"Zelenskyy later told journalists the high-stakes meeting with Trump was planned for Sunday and would focus on Ukrainian security guarantees and reconstruction. He added that the proposed 20-point peace plan was 90% ready. The plan is considered an updated version of an earlier 28-point document agreed several weeks ago between the US envoys and Russian officials a proposal widely viewed as skewed towards the Kremlin's demands."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy will travel to the United States for a planned meeting with Donald Trump on Sunday to discuss security guarantees and reconstruction. Zelenskyy received a briefing from Rustem Umerov on new contacts with US officials and said preparations continue without delay. The proposed 20-point peace plan is about 90% complete as an updated version of an earlier 28-point document negotiated between US envoys and Russian officials. Ukraine seeks security guarantees modelled on NATO's Article 5 mutual defence pledge, but Moscow's willingness to accept such terms remains unclear. Washington has not publicly confirmed the meeting.
