U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States will send a representative to Europe this weekend to participate in talks on Ukraine, provided there is a realistic chance of progress on a ceasefire. However, Kyiv has said Washington is still pressing it to make significant territorial concessions as part of the plan to end the nearly four-year conflict.
According to the latest U.S. proposal, only Ukraine—not Russia—would withdraw troops from parts of eastern Donetsk, where a demilitarised “free economic zone” would be established as a buffer. Moscow would retain its positions in the south while pulling back from certain northern regions not formally annexed by President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine has been revising the original U.S. plan and submitted a 20-point counter-proposal this week, though full details have not been made public.
