Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy has said that he is ready to work with the US administration on a peace settlement plan, the details of which were published the day before citing sources in several mass media outlets. He expects to discuss these proposals with Donald Trump in the coming days, Bloomberg reports .

Zelensky met with US Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll in Kiev on Thursday, according to the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian president's office. They discussed "options for achieving real peace" and "new impulses for diplomacy." "Our Ukraine and US teams will work on the points of the plan to end the war," the post reads.

Axios previously reported, citing an unnamed U.S. official, that Zelensky had agreed with Driscoll to sign a peace plan in a "short timeframe." According to Politico, the framework document could be agreed upon by the end of this week.

The peace plan contains 28 points, including the following proposals: Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions will be de facto recognized as Russian, while Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions will be given a "frozen status" along the contact line, according to a publication by Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko. It is also proposed to create a demilitarized buffer zone under the control of Russia, the parties will be obliged not to change the borders by force, according to the document submitted by the MP. Other points mentioned in the post include guarantees of Ukraine's security from Washington, the consolidation of the non-aligned status of this country, a ban on the deployment of NATO troops on its territory, and limiting the size of the Ukrainian army. In addition, the plan refers to the phased lifting of sanctions against Russia, while $100bn from frozen Russian assets will be allocated for Ukraine's reconstruction, according to the listed conditions.
