Volodymyr Zelensky has suggested a deal with Russia to ‘end the bloodshed’ could be struck this week.
The Ukrainian president confirmed in a post on Telegram that his officials will hold talks with the US today on a draft peace plan to end the war with Russia.
The negotiations will then be followed by a virtual meeting of the so-called coalition of the willing of European nations tomorrow.
The wartime leader wrote on Telegram: ‘We are finalizing work on the 20 points of a fundamental document that could define the parameters for ending the war, and we expect to deliver this document to the United States in the near future, following our joint work with President Trump’s team and partners in Europe.’

Zelensky’s post went on: ‘We are working very productively [with the Coalition of the Willing] to guarantee future security and prevent a recurrence of Russian aggression.
‘The week may bring news for all of us and to end the bloodshed.’
The Ukrainian president said yesterday that his new peace proposals comprises 20 points – down from 28 – after some ‘obvious anti-Ukrainian points were removed’.
He said there was still no agreement on giving up territory – something that Donald Trump believes is necessary for peace but Ukraine and Europe have long resisted.
