US President Donald Trump expressed confidence on Friday that Washington is close to unveiling a peace plan between Ukraine and Russia, but emphasized that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky must approve it. Trump's remarks come as the US is developing a proposal, which is expected to undergo significant revisions amid ongoing negotiations. Zelensky has warned that Ukraine faces a critical moment in its history, weighing the implications of the US proposal. He stressed the need for national unity and vowed to protect Ukraine's dignity and freedom. The proposed plan, which could involve Kyiv ceding territory in the Donbas region and limiting its military capabilities, has been met with skepticism in Kyiv. US officials stress that the proposal remains a work in progress, requiring compromises from both Russia and Ukraine. The draft, comprising 28 points, has reportedly been reviewed by Trump and has his support. However, some provisions, particularly those calling for Ukrainian territorial concessions, have previously been rejected by Kyiv. The US has attempted to revive peace efforts, but the nearly three-year-long conflict between Ukraine and Russia remains unresolved. As negotiations continue, the outcome remains uncertain, with both sides demanding concessions from each other.
