#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 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.
