Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that proposals to end the ongoing war with Russia could soon be presented, following diplomatic talks in Berlin characterized as both urgent and hopeful.
Describing a draft peace plan as "not perfect" but "very workable," Zelenskyy underscored the involvement of U.S. officials and the significance of security guarantees for Ukraine in these negotiations.
Optimism is growing among U.S. and Ukrainian officials, despite persistent unresolved issues, particularly concerning territorial disputes, highlighting the complexity of reaching a lasting agreement.
Polls show strong public resistance in Ukraine against major concessions, with a significant majority rejecting any territorial compromises that would undermine national sovereignty.
The talks also hint at a willingness from Ukraine to reconsider its NATO aspirations in exchange for robust security guarantees, marking a potential shift in its long-standing military goals.
As discussions unfold, the international community watches closely, with European leaders exploring the establishment of a "multinational force" to enhance security and provide assurances for Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia.
