Quote: "The president of Ukraine outlined the fundamental principles that are important for our people, and following today's meeting we agreed to work on the points of the plan in a way that would bring a worthy end to the war.

From the very first seconds of the Russian invasion, Ukraine has sought peace, and we support all substantive proposals that can bring real peace closer. Since the beginning of this year, Ukraine has supported President Trump's proposals to end the bloodshed."

Details: The President's Office says it is ready to work constructively with the US side and with partners in Europe and across the world to achieve a result that brings peace.

They added that in the coming days Zelenskyy expects to discuss with US President Donald Trump the available diplomatic options and the key points needed to achieve peace.

Background:

• On 19 November, several US media outlets reported on a new 28-point peace plan that Trump's team developed in consultation with Russian representatives.
• The Financial Times reported that the peace plan to end the war in Ukraine envisages, among other things, handing all of Donbas to Russia, giving up certain categories of weaponry, cutting the size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in half and recognising Russian as a state language.
• Qatar and Türkiye are also reportedly involved in developing the drafting of the new plan.
• Axios reported that a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US special envoy Steve Witkoff in Türkiye regarding the new peace plan was cancelled because the Ukrainian president arrived with a different plan, which Russia "will never accept".
• NBC News reported that Trump approved the 28-point peace plan between Russia and Ukraine, which senior officials in his administration had been secretly developing over the past few weeks in consultation with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Ukrainian officials.
