Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that Kyiv has completed three key documents that will be presented to the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The announcement comes after a period of tense negotiations and following the publication of a 28-point peace plan drafted by U.S. officials with input from the Kremlin—a plan that sparked strong reactions in both Ukraine and Europe.
The initial version of the plan proposed that Ukraine abandon its goal of joining NATO, reduce the size of its armed forces, and surrender territories that Russia has so far failed to capture on the battlefield.
Speaking at an online press conference on December 9, Zelensky said the first of the documents is a 20-point “framework” designed to reflect both Ukrainian and Western priorities.
“It is constantly changing, and this is normal, because it is a living structure that must reflect the interests of Ukraine, Europe, and the world,” he emphasized.
This document aims to offer an alternative to the original U.S. proposal, which Kyiv considers excessively favorable to Russia.
The second document outlines security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. Zelensky confirmed that discussions on this matter are ongoing both with the United States and with the Coalition of the Willing—a group of mostly European countries committed to providing various forms of security support to Ukraine.
“Security guarantees are an important document between us and the United States, and between us and the Europeans,” Zelensky said.
According to him, this document is crucial to ensuring that any ceasefire agreement does not leave Ukraine vulnerable to another Russian assault.
The third document concerns Ukraine’s economic recovery after the war. Zelensky did not disclose additional details but stressed that it remains an essential component of the package that will be submitted to Washington.
Earlier this week, the Ukrainian president met with European leaders in Brussels and London to discuss revisions to the U.S. plan, urging that the proposal be fair and workable for Ukraine.
On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the negotiations, stating that the Ukrainian leader “will have to take the ball and start accepting things.”
Trump, who has long claimed—falsely—that he has resolved “more than eight conflicts around the world,” is reportedly eager to strengthen his image as a peacemaker by securing a halt to active hostilities in Ukraine.
Analysts warn that the central challenge for Kyiv and its allies is understanding what kind of “peace” Trump’s plan would entail—and how long such a peace might last.
In a situation where Russia continues its aggression and Ukrainian territory remains partially occupied, any agreement involving unilateral concessions could have long-term consequences for Ukraine’s security and European stability.
The new proposals are expected to be formally submitted to the U.S. administration in the coming days and weeks./The Geopost.
