#Zelensky portrayed the plan as Ukraine’s best effort to end the #war & said it was now up to #Russia to decide how to respond. He said that the new draft was being presented to Russia by the #US, & that Kyiv expected a reply by Wednesday evening.
The Ukrainian leader said the various points in the plan “largely reflect the joint Ukrainian American position.”

But the proposal also hinted at the significant gaps that remain between #Ukraine & #Russia. Zelensky’s offer of a #DMZ came with a condition — Russia would have to pull its forces from an equivalent stretch of land in #Donetsk. So far, the Kremlin has given no indication that it is willing to accept anything less than full control over the region.
The proposal forms part of a revised 20-point peace plan that was drawn up by #Ukraine & the #US in the past few weeks & that #Zelensky presented to reporters Tuesday. The blueprint covers a broad range of issues, from potential territorial arrangements to the #security guarantees Kyiv wants to prevent future Russian aggression, as well as plans to rebuild the war-ravaged nation.

Save Ukraine from the dictator.
But Kyiv & Washington did not reach an agreement on 2 sticking points: the fate of Ukrainian-held territory in #Donetsk & control of a major #NuclearPlant currently occupied by #Russia. On the second point, Kyiv offered to manage the plant jointly with the US [🤦🏼♀️] as a form of compromise.
It remained unclear how the proposed Ukrainian concessions not yet accepted by the #US would be communicated by American officials to Moscow.
