Ukraine prepares to unveil updated peace proposal to US

Ukraine and its European partners will soon present the U.S. with "refined documents" on a peace plan to end the war with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday, following days of high-stakes diplomacy.



Kyiv is under pressure from the White House to secure a quick peace but is pushing back on a U.S.-backed plan proposed last month that many see as favourable to Moscow.



Ukrainian officials are also seeking strong security guarantees from partners, in the event of a deal, to prevent Russia from attacking again in the future.

In a statement, Zelenskiy said new components of the deal hashed out with the British, French and German leaders in London on Monday are ready for U.S. review.



"The Ukrainian and European components are now more developed, and we are ready to present them to our partners in the U.S.," he wrote on X. "Together with the American side, we expect to swiftly make the potential steps as doable as possible."
