Zelensky Unveils Comprehensive Peace Plan Amid Ongoing Talks with Russia and the US
In a significant step toward ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed a full 20-point peace plan backed by the US, which includes proposals for demilitarized zones and security guarantees. Zelensky is said to be cautiously optimistic about the progress made in the US-led peace talks, stating that key issues have reached consensus. In a recent statement, he emphasized willingness to consider troop withdrawals and the establishment of a demilitarized zone if Russia reciprocates. The Kremlin, while acknowledging constructive discussions around the US peace proposal, has signaled the need for adaptations. As the situation develops, Zelensky remains open to further negotiations, including potential talks involving former President Trump, while expressing concerns about the uncertainty of achieving a definitive peace agreement.
