Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was meeting with a US military team visiting Kyiv, has said Ukraine is ready to engage with the White House on a US-Russia peace proposal.
Kyiv has not said what the latest US-backed proposal contains.
The White House has confirmed that President Donald Trump had approved the ceasefire plan earlier this week after negotiations with Russia.
The proposal would reportedly see Kyiv give up land currently controlled by Russian forces and cut its army by more than half.
Meanwhile, EU ministers were meeting on Thursday to discuss the US-Russia plan for Ukraine and the bloc’s continued support for Kyiv.
The bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the EU’s plan is to weaken Russia and strengthen Ukraine.https://p.dw.com/p/53ud4
