Volodymyr Zelensky will speak to Donald Trump after the US presented Ukraine with a draft peace plan to end the war with Russia.
The plan was reportedly drafted by US special envoy Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev, without Ukraine's involvement.
In a statement, Zelensky's office said the US believed the draft plan could "help reinvigorate diplomacy" and added that Ukraine had "agreed to work on the plan's provisions in a way that would bring about a just end to the war".
Kyiv supported "all substantive proposals capable of bringing genuine peace closer," the statement said.
The Ukrainians did not share any details of what the proposal entails, although according to sources quoted by Axios, the Financial Times and Reuters, it includes plans for Kyiv to give up areas of the Donbas in eastern Ukraine that it still controls, to cut significantly the size of its army, and to forego many of its weapons.
If confirmed, these demands would be heavily slanted towards Moscow's interest - explaining Kyiv's lukewarm reaction to the draft.
But in a press briefing for reporters at the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected suggestions the plan demands major concessions from Ukraine.
She said Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been "engaging both sides equally to understand what these countries would commit to".
"It's a good plan for both Russia and Ukraine," she said, without providing further details. "We believe that it should be acceptable to both sides. And we're working very hard to get it done."
Moscow downplayed the significance of the plan, which is rumoured to include 28 points.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that while there had been "contacts" with the US there was "no process that could be called 'consultations'".

If anyone deserves a Noble Peace Prize, it is President Trump.
Trump: "Ok I'll tell you what. Christmas is coming up. I'll throw in a set of Dancing Trump ornaments for your tree. Got a deal?"
Trump needs to walk away.
And spend his time on the American economy.
Volody wants more money, stuff, period. Joe was so generous.
So has Donald
For what? Until there are results I don’t see it.
Thankfully, President Trump can walk and chew gum at the same time. Unlike many with TDS.

So has Donald what?
He’s casting pearls before swine. tenmountainman is right.
President Trump brokered peace between:
Azerbaijan and Armenia
Cambodia and Thailand
Israel and Iran
Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
India and Pakistan
Egypt and Ethiopia
Serbia and Kosovo
and the Houtis and the United States
He is also attempting to stop the Ukraine Russia war.
Initially the Axios report was doubted, and someone should track down who leaked to them.
And at this point Zelensky will NOT say he rejects it. He will be led by the hand by the EU and Graham et al and buy time and delay and delay some more.
OTOH there will be no more tightening of any sanctions on India or China or Russia while it appears that there may be some path forward, given there has been no up front rejection.
We should have seen this 2 weeks ago when Rubio was quoted saying that the sanctions on Russia did not seem to be influencing behavior at all.

Then you should go to that link too.
“the sanctions on Russia did not seem to be influencing behavior at all.”
Their economy is suffering so they are going to raise a slew of taxes to boost it.
I guess they don’t understand economics.
Or maybe they do and Putin is lying to justify raising more money to fund his two week war.
LOL Abel Reyna LOL
Fortunately, you’re behind the Ukrainians as much as you were behind Abel Reyna. That doesn’t bode well for them.
Those Russian motorcycle gangs are in trouble now! 😉😂😂
Rubio doesn’t think so.
“Those Russian motorcycle gangs are in trouble now!”
Not as long as Putin has the money to keep funding them.
“Rubio doesn’t think so.”
What is it that Rubio doesn’t think is so?
“Fortunately, you’re behind the Ukrainians as much as you were behind Abel Reyna. “
True. Never behind either. You just make up your troll posts.
8ving forever in your head.
