Ukraine said Friday it was working with a U.S. delegation on the new peace plan backed by President Donald Trump, as its allies scrambled to respond to the proposal that would grant Russia key demands at a moment of weakness for Kyiv.
The Kremlin maintained that it had not seen details of the plan, but urged Ukraine to make a "responsible decision" in light of mounting battlefield pressure.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held an urgent call with the leaders of Britain, Germany and France, after which he said he valued Trump's efforts and would keep working with American officials to ensure Kyiv's "principled stances are taken into account."
Zelenskyy added: "We are working on the document prepared by the American side. This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace."
The sudden emergence of the plan has fueled unease across the continent, which fears a deal imposing major concessions on Ukraine could embolden Russia further.
