  1. But Kyiv & Washington did not reach an agreement on 2 sticking points: the fate of Ukrainian-held territory in #Donetsk & control of a major #NuclearPlant currently occupied by #Russia. On the second point, Kyiv offered to manage the plant jointly with the US [🤦🏼‍♀️] as a form of compromise.

    It remained unclear how the proposed Ukrainian concessions not yet accepted by the #US would be communicated by American officials to Moscow.

  2. #Zelensky portrayed the plan as Ukraine’s best effort to end the #war & said it was now up to #Russia to decide how to respond. He said that the new draft was being presented to Russia by the #US, & that Kyiv expected a reply by Wednesday evening.

    The Ukrainian leader said the various points in the plan “largely reflect the joint Ukrainian American position.”

  3. The proposal forms part of a revised 20-point peace plan that was drawn up by #Ukraine & the #US in the past few weeks & that #Zelensky presented to reporters Tuesday. The blueprint covers a broad range of issues, from potential territorial arrangements to the #security guarantees Kyiv wants to prevent future Russian aggression, as well as plans to rebuild the war-ravaged nation.

  4. But the proposal also hinted at the significant gaps that remain between #Ukraine & #Russia. Zelensky’s offer of a #DMZ came with a condition — Russia would have to pull its forces from an equivalent stretch of land in #Donetsk. So far, the Kremlin has given no indication that it is willing to accept anything less than full control over the region.
