Zelenskyy's Office announces continuation of negotiations on US peace plan

"It is important not to lose productivity and to work quickly. Our key shared goal with our partners remains unchanged – achieving a lasting and dignified peace for Ukraine as soon as possible," Yermak wrote.

At the same time, he noted that, as in Geneva, preparations are underway for the most constructive possible talks with the US. This will help achieve tangible progress in defining steps to end the war.

"Thanks to the US team for working without pause. Peace must become a shared achievement," Yermak added.

Following the meeting in Geneva, most of the important points regarding the peace plan were agreed upon. In particular, Ukraine managed to remove a controversial provision calling for the amnesty of Russian military personnel for war crimes from the plan.

The actual number of points in the plan remains unknown. The Financial Times reported that the document had been significantly reduced to 19 points from the original 28. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated that the plan was reduced to 22 points, not 19.

Meanwhile, Russia commented on the plan for the first time. Russian President Vladimir Putin personally stated that Russia supposedly agrees that the US peace plan with 28 points could serve as a "basis for future agreements." However, the Kremlin refuses to consider it a draft peace agreement.

A considerable scandal has already emerged around the peace plan. Despite the US's attempts to claim authorship, it was revealed that the plan had been developed by the Russians. This was initially confirmed by expert analysis, and on November 26, Bloomberg published recordings of conversations between the US President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov.

The transcript shows that it was the Russian regime, not the US, that developed the so-called peace plan. Witkoff sent the document to Washington, where a campaign began to push a peace agreement on Ukraine.
