New draft of US peace plan reflects our priorities, says Ukraine negotiator

KYIV: The latest version of the US draft plan for ending the war in Ukraine now includes most of Kyiv’s “key priorities”, its negotiator said Sunday, after holding a few rounds of talks in Geneva.“The current version of the document, although still in the final stages of approval, already reflects most of Ukraine’s key priorities,” negotiator Rustem Umerov, who is also the secretary of Ukraine’s security council, said. “We greatly appreciate the constructive cooperation with the US and their attentive consideration of our comments, which allows us to move forward in this joint process,” he added.“Currently, there is an understanding that the American proposals may include a number of elements based on Ukrainian perspectives and critical for Ukrainian national interests,” Umerov said on social media.
