HuffPost
Kyiv has been pressing Washington to modify a peace plan that, in a draft unveiled last month, echoed Moscow's main demands.
KYIV, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for a meeting with Donald Trump to hammer out the most sensitive issues in a future peace deal with Russia, such as control of territory, following the latest round of U.S.-Ukrainian talks.
In remarks to reporters released by his office on Wednesday, Zelenskyy said Ukrainian and U.S. delegations had inched closer to finalizing a 20-point plan at the talks over the weekend in Miami.
“This is a document referred to as a framework – a foundational document on ending the war, a political document between us, America, Europe, and the Russians,” Zelenskyy said.
“We are ready for a meeting with the United States at the leaders’ level to address sensitive issues. Matters such as territorial questions must be discussed at the leaders’ level.”
