As a result of negotiations between Ukrainian and US officials in Geneva, the peace plan was modified. Some of its points were removed, Oleksandr Bevz, adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, reported.
Bevz noted that the negotiations with US officials in Geneva were very constructive. Ukraine managed to discuss every point of the United States' peace plan.
"The 28-point plan in the form in which everyone saw it no longer exists. Some points were removed, others were changed. None of the Ukrainian side's remarks was ignored," the adviser to the Head of the Presidential Office said.
According to him, final decisions on the most problematic issues will be made by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.
Bevz also pointed out that there had been far more conspiracy theories than reality.
US peace plan
Western media began reporting on the US peace plan last week. According to the reports, it was developed not only by American officials but also by Russians.
Authoritative outlets wrote that the plan consisted of 28 points, some of which were unacceptable for Ukraine.
The plan stipulated that the Donetsk and Luhansk regions would come under full Russian control. It also set a limit on the size of Ukraine's army — up to 600,000 personnel.
Against this backdrop, Ukrainian officials met with American counterparts in Geneva to adjust the peace plan.
After the negotiations, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there were signals that Ukraine's position had been heard.
