Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held talks with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and afterwards announced "important days" ahead for Ukraine.

"These are important days, and much can change. We are coordinating closely, and in our efforts – and in the efforts of all our partners – it is our joint measures and shared positions that will be extremely effective," he wrote after the conversation.

Zelenskyy also held a phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. He noted that Ukraine is coordinating efforts with the EU, and one topic of discussion was the diplomatic situation.

"We discussed the diplomatic situation, and we have a shared understanding of the key issues. It also matters that Ursula is paying close attention to the need to strengthen our resilience amid Russia's constant strikes on our infrastructure and the energy sector," the president wrote.

On November 29, the Ukrainian delegation traveled to the United States to continue discussions on the peace plan. It includes Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov and First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergiy Kyslytsya.

On November 30, the meeting in Miami began and is still ongoing. Reports indicate that the US aims to resolve two key issues of the peace plan with Ukraine in a single day, focusing on territorial issues and security guarantees.

Before meeting the Ukrainian delegation, US Secretary of State Mark Rubio outlined the goals of the peace plan, emphasizing that it concerns not only ending the war but also securing Ukraine's sovereignty and prosperity.
