Zelensky hails 'new ideas' on peace after talks with US envoys

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss potential paths to ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Zelensky described the nearly hour-long conversation as yielding "new ideas" regarding formats, meetings, and timing to achieve peace. This follows the agreement of a 20-point peace plan between US and Ukrainian envoys in Florida, an update to an earlier draft. The plan reportedly includes potential troop withdrawals, a demilitarized zone, and security guarantees for Ukraine. Zelensky has tasked Ukraine's top negotiator to continue discussions with the American team, while the Kremlin is analyzing proposals brought back by a Russian envoy. Trump and his envoys have been holding talks with both Ukraine and Russia in an effort to reach a deal to end the war.
