Zelensky Agrees to Negotiate with Trump on 28-Point "Peace Plan" Negotiated by U.S. and Russia
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday he's ready to
negotiate with President Trump on a U.S.-backed peace plan that calls on
Ukraine to cede large swaths of territory to Russia while restricting
the size of its military. The 28-point peace plan was negotiated by
Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio with
Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia's sovereign wealth
fund. The backchannel negotiations did not include any Ukrainian or
European officials.
