Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that during negotiations in Miami, the American “peace plan” to end Russia’s war against Ukraine was reduced from 28 to 20 points. Openly anti-Ukrainian proposals were removed from it, the president said after a meeting with EU leaders in London, Suspilne reports..
He noted that Ukraine is not going to give up the territory, so there is no compromise between the parties on this issue.
" to be honest, we also have no moral right. Of course, Russia insists that we give up territories. We definitely don't want to give anything away. This is what we are fighting for. You know this very well. Americans are looking for a compromise today,” Zelensky said while talking to reporters on the plane..
According to the head of state, there is a proposal to “exchange” the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and part of the occupied territories in the Donetsk region that Russia did not seize. Zelensky stressed that without Ukraine the Zaporizhia NPP “will not work”.

He also noted that there are territories that Russia can no longer hold - small areas in the Kharkov and Sumy directions. Zelensky notes that the most difficult thing remains that Russia is trying to take away part of the Donetsk region and is “pressuring us with various instruments - military, informational and diplomatic.”.
The President emphasized that representatives specifically emphasize the importance of involving Europe in discussions on reconstruction, financing, as well as security guarantees during negotiations with US representatives.
The main issue of guarantees, according to Vladimir Zelensky, is the determination of “what will happen if, after the end of the war, Russia starts aggression again” “What are the partners ready for and what can Ukraine count on? This should be the answer and at the heart of security guarantees for Ukraine,” the head of state stated..

Let us recall that on December 2, the special representative of the American President Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Putin in Moscow. These negotiations to resolve Russia’s war against Ukraine lasted more than five hours, but a compromise on the peace plan could not be found. At the same time, the Kremlin said that Putin did not reject the US proposal during the negotiations.
After this, a meeting of the Ukrainian and American delegations took place in Miami, at which Kyiv was to be provided with complete information about what was discussed during negotiations with Russia.
Already on December 6, Zelensky had a two-hour telephone conversation with Witkoff and Kushner, during which they discussed issues of territories and security guarantees.
Former Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Oleg Shamshur, in the article “Trump’s 28 points: how to sell Ukraine,” warned: the real world requires not the sale of interests, but reliable guarantees and a bold European position, otherwise today’s “peace plans” may not be the end of the war, but the launch of its European continuation.
