Ukraine, together with its allies, is developing a peace plan. As head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak said, it will be a single document. There are no alternative “plans” from individual countries, reports FREEДOM citing RBC-Ukraine.

“There are many reports in the media now about alternative ‘plans’ — like the US has one, the EU another, some countries have others. I want to state clearly that this is not true. There are no different plans to choose from. Nor are there plans chosen by someone else. There are working discussions on wording, but all partners remain in continuous communication,” Yermak emphasized.

He stressed that in the end there will be a single document that takes Ukraine’s interests into account.

“Presidents [Ukraine’s Volodymyr] Zelenskyy and [the US’s Donald] Trump, European leaders alike believe that any negotiations must start with a ceasefire along the current line of contact. All partners agree that for diplomats to work successfully the firing must stop,” Yermak concluded.

Also reported: adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mykhailo Podolyak said the United States has the resources to fully isolate Russia economically and financially, and other countries will follow. In addition, no one currently has weapons like the US does, so procuring them for Ukraine could play a role.
