New Peace Talk Plan: US Steps In Between Ukraine and Russia

The US has introduced a fresh idea for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. This new plan may include the US and potentially Europe at the negotiating table. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced this update on a Saturday.

Kyiv's Stance

Kyiv is still evaluating whether they approve of this new format. They are waiting to see how the talks between Ukraine and the US progress. These talks resumed on a Friday. Zelenskiy plans to discuss this with Rustem Umerov, the leader of Ukraine's negotiating team.

Details of the Proposal

Zelenskiy did not provide many specifics about the US proposal. He mentioned that the US wants to meet with Russia separately. The idea appears to involve a meeting with Ukraine, the US, Russia, and possibly Europe.

Recent Diplomatic Efforts

On the same Saturday, US negotiators were scheduled to meet with Russian officials in Florida. Ukraine and Russia have not engaged in face-to-face talks since July. However, there has been a significant amount of diplomatic back-and-forth recently, all supported by the US.

On Friday, Ukrainian and European representatives met with the US. They agreed to maintain communication soon. Umerov shared this news.
