Ukraine has expressed its backing for a U.S.-proposed peace plan with Russia, even as missile and drone strikes continue to wreak havoc in Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to engage in critical discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump in the coming days to address unresolved issues. This development follows recent talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Geneva, as well as meetings between U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt highlighted significant progress towards a peace agreement, emphasizing that while some sensitive details remain, they are not insurmountable. The urgency for a resolution is underscored by ongoing Russian assaults on Ukraine, which have resulted in casualties and disrupted essential services in Kyiv. French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged the potential of the U.S. plan but stressed the importance of ensuring that peace does not equate to capitulation. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reiterated that any revised peace proposal must align with the agreements made during the Alaska summit between Putin and Trump.
