Ukraine won some limited concessions in the latest version of a US-led draft plan to end the Russian invasion, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed.
But key questions remain over territory and whether Moscow could accept the new terms.
The 20-point plan, agreed on by US and Ukrainian negotiators, was being reviewed by Russia. The Kremlin has previously not shown a willingness to abandon its hard-line territorial demands for full Ukrainian withdrawal from the east.
Zelenskyy conceded there were some points in the document that he did not like, but Ukraine had succeeded in removing immediate requirements for it to withdraw from the Donetsk region or that land seized by Russia’s army would be recognised as Russian.
The Ukrainian leader hinted that a new proposal might lead to the withdrawal of some troops, particularly from the 20 percent of the Donetsk region still under control. This initiative aims to create demilitarized zones in these areas, potentially easing tensions.
