Trump's Envoy: Zelensky to Visit Washington to Discuss Peace Plan

The U.S. special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is likely to visit the United States to discuss Washington's plan for resolving the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv.

Kellogg described the U.S. plan as "good" in an interview with Fox News, which was reported today (Sunday), but noted that it includes points that need further organization and clarification, and we are close to completion. He stated: I believe that when Zelensky visits the United States, which is likely, although there are no guarantees, there will be an opportunity to consider this plan as appropriate.

The U.S. official hinted at the possibility of attaching additional documents to the peace plan, including "an annex that may include security guarantees."

The special envoy added: "I recently spoke with U.S. President Jared Kushner, who media reports indicated was involved in drafting the plan, and I believe we will add that to the plan, but it is closer to a framework document."

Western media revealed details of a new plan regarding the settlement in Ukraine, and according to leaks, the United States and several other countries will recognize Russia's sovereignty over Crimea, Donbas, and other areas that Ukraine will relinquish, in exchange for Kyiv receiving U.S. and European security guarantees. The plan also includes the establishment of a demilitarized zone in areas from which Ukrainian forces will withdraw.

Axios reported, citing a U.S. official, that the line of contact between the two sides in the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions will be frozen, and Russia will return some areas to Ukraine. The Ukrainian army will also be significantly reduced and stripped of long-range weapons, and the deployment of foreign forces on Ukrainian territory will be prohibited, while the Russian language will be granted official status in the state.

Bloomberg revealed that the new U.S. plan also includes lifting sanctions imposed on Russia.
