US President Donald Trump made a series of statements regarding the Washington-led plan for resolving the Ukraine crisis. "Izvestia" has compiled key remarks from the politician on the compromise proposal that Kyiv and Moscow must agree to, as well as the involvement of Europe.
According to "Izvestia", on November 26, Donald Trump told journalists that after discussions with Ukrainian and European representatives, the plan had been adjusted, reducing the number of clauses from 28 to 22.
The US president further explained that some of the proposals put forward by the US received positive responses from the negotiating parties, and added that the initial version of the plan was merely a "basic framework" and "concept".
Trump revealed that Moscow had expressed willingness to take "some initial steps" in resolving the conflict with Kyiv. He specifically mentioned that he expects the Kremlin to agree to a halt in military operations and to stop troops at the current front lines. CNN reported this news.
This politician said that his envoy Steve Witkoff will go to Moscow "probably next week" to negotiate with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Trump does not rule out the possibility that his son-in-law Jared Kushner may also join the US delegation.
The US president confirmed that Europe will participate in providing security guarantees to Kyiv.
Trump is convinced that European politicians genuinely want to end this conflict.
The US leader announced that he has canceled the requirement for Vladimir Zelensky to make a decision on the Ukrainian peace plan by November 27.
Trump believes that the confrontation between Moscow and Kyiv may last for years, but Russia has more resources in mobilizing military personnel, so Ukraine would be better off "reaching an agreement".
Background Review: The White House proposed a peace plan to resolve the Ukraine crisis on November 21. After talks between the US and Ukrainian representatives, some provisions of the plan were deleted. Ukrainian representatives initially approved the revised version of the agreement. The Kremlin, however, stated that it had only become familiar with the initial version of the document.
