This was announced by Zelensky, who hopes to speak in the coming days with Trump about the content of the document which, according to several media outlets, includes the transfer of territories that Russia has failed to occupy and a considerable reduction of the Ukrainian army.
The president met this Thursday with the secretary of the US Army, Dan Driscollwho conveyed the plan to him after arriving in kyiv the day before, in what represents the highest-level visit that Pentagon representatives have made to the country since Trump came to power.
The two “discussed options for achieving real peace, as well as new impulses for diplomacy,” Zelensky reported.
“Our teams – from Ukraine and the United States – will work on the provisions of the plan to end the war. “We are ready for constructive, sincere and fast work,” he added.
The Ukrainian Presidency did not comment on the content of the draft and limited itself to pointing out that, “according to the American assessment,” the plan “can help revitalize” the diplomatic process led by Washington to end the war.
“In the coming days, the president of Ukraine hopes to speak with President Trump about the diplomatic opportunities that exist and the key points required to achieve peace,” it says in one of its passages.
“We are ready now, as before, to work constructively with the American side and with our partners in Europe and in the world so that the result is peace,” the note adds.
The US says it is talking to kyiv
White House spokesperson Caroline Leavittassured hours later that the Trump Administration is negotiating the peace plan with Ukraine and Russia “equally.”
The special envoy Steve Witkoff and the secretary of state, Marco Rubiohave been “working on a plan quietly for the last month and have been in dialogue with both sides, Russia and Ukraine, alike,” Leavitt said at a press conference.
The spokesperson was asked after the American media Axios published this Wednesday that Witkoff and the Kremlin emissary Kiril Dmitriev They are working on a 28-point plan that provides, among other things, to grant Russia territories in eastern Ukraine in exchange for a security guarantee from Washington for kyiv and the rest of Europe against possible new Russian aggression.
Leavitt said the US negotiating team is following the same process that was used to end the conflict in Gaza: “That’s how it worked with Israel, with respect to Israel and Gaza and all the Arab countries in the Middle East. That’s how we reached that historic agreement,” he said.
The conversations “continue” and, although he did not want to go into details, he advanced that the president “supports him.”
“It is a good plan for both Russia and Ukraine, and we believe it should be acceptable to both sides. We are working very hard to carry it out,” he said.
The EU calls for pressure
For her part, the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, An echo Calledinsisted this Thursday on maintaining pressure on Russia and continuing to support kyiv, given the information that Trump may be planning to grant Russia territories in eastern Ukraine in exchange for a US security guarantee for Ukraine and the rest of Europe in the face of possible new Russian aggression.
“Our approach is to put pressure on the aggressor to stop this (the war), and that is the message we send to partners in the rest of the world,” the politician declared at the press conference following the meeting of foreign ministers of the Twenty-seven held today in Brussels.
Kallas emphasized that the EU position has not changedand stressed that for a peace plan “to be successful, it has to be supported by Ukraine and Europe.”
He also stressed that previous peace talks failed because Russia “never made real commitments.”
“The pressure should be put on the aggressor, not the victim. Rewarding aggression will only encourage it. The EU has a very clear two-point plan. First, weaken Russia. Second, support Ukraine,” he said.
