Zelensky says new ‘Trump peace plan’ will be ready in days – but Moscow is already pushing back - Zelensky left Germany armed with Nato-style security guarantees – but was still unclear on territory

‘A CRITICAL MOMENT’: Negotiations have reached a furious pace in Berlin, where for a third day Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been trying to hammer out a response to the U.S.-proposed peace plan that would be acceptable to President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian people.

The NATO issue is what the Kremlin describes as one of the "root causes" of its war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday said his country is willing to drop its push to join NATO if it gets other security guarantees to end the war, marking a critical concession to the Russians.

Ukraine has days to accept Trump's peace plan with US-led security guarantees, but Russia has reacted angrily to proposals allowing NATO-style troop deployment.

On Sunday, former President Donald Trump expressed disappointment in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stating that he is not prepared to endorse a peace plan proposed by the U.S. aimed at resolving the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
