Zelenskyy says Ukraine peace proposals could reach Russia in days

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says proposals being negotiated with U.S. officials for a peace deal to end his country’s nearly four-year war with Russia could be finalised within days.

He then said the deal would be presented to Russia. 

Zelenskyy told reporters that a draft peace plan discussed with the U.S. during talks in Berlin earlier in the day is “very workable.”

He cautioned, however, that some key issues, notably the fate of Ukrainian territory occupied by invading Russian forces, remain unresolved.

U.S.-led peace efforts appear to be gaining momentum, but Russian President Vladimir Putin may balk at some of the proposals thrashed out by officials from Washington, Kyiv, and Western Europe, including post-war security guarantees for Ukraine.

Speaking from The Hague, Zelenskyy also highlighted that Ukraine cannot maintain its strength without access to frozen assets and international financial support.

He stressed that the country is facing significant financial difficulties, making the release of these frozen funds crucial for its economic stability and ongoing recovery efforts.

This is a developing story.
