Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS

Summary:
President Donald Trump stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not yet read the updated U.S. peace proposal aimed at ending the war with Russia, despite several rounds of discussions involving U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Miami. Zelenskyy confirmed he had a detailed phone call with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner covering ways to end the conflict and prevent future Russian invasions, but said he is awaiting in-person briefings from his negotiation team on recent developments.

Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with European leaders in London to discuss the plan amid continuing Russian attacks targeting Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure.
