US peace plan
American and Russian officials have developed a 28-point peace plan to end Russia's war against Ukraine. US President Donald Trump approved it.
In particular, the plan provides for the transfer of part of the Donbas territories to Russia in exchange for providing Ukraine and the EU with long-term security guarantees, reducing the Ukrainian army, renouncing long-range weapons, etc.
The US is pressuring Ukraine to agree to a peace plan by November 27.
However, the plan was immediately met with harsh criticism from Ukraine, Europe, and even the US Congress. As is known, Zelenskyy will discuss the peace plan with Trump next week.
Meanwhile, Zelenskyy, together with European leaders, is trying to revise the points of the US peace plan by November 27 so that they are fair to Kyiv.
