Zelensky to Send Revised 20-Point Peace Plan to U.S., With Core Disputes Unresolved

Overview

• After meetings in London and Brussels with leaders of the UK, France and Germany, Zelensky said the shortened proposal would go to Washington, later indicating he expects to submit it on Wednesday.
• Ukraine says the U.S.-backed plan was cut from 28 to about 20 points, and Kyiv stresses that ceding land would violate domestic law and is unacceptable.
• U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg described an agreement as very close but said two issues remain: the status of Donbas and control and safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
• The Kremlin signaled that Washington's documents require serious or radical changes, and Russian strikes continued during the talks, including reported mass aerial attacks.
• President Trump criticized Zelensky for not reading the proposal and urged Ukraine to hold elections, as European partners seek stronger security guarantees and explore using frozen Russian assets for reconstruction.
