Earlier, the media reported that the Trump administration had transferred a single -word document to Paris, which was submitted as a “final proposal” for a peaceful settlement. Among other things, the United States is ready to recognize Russia’s control over Ukrainian Crimea and weaken sanctions against Moscow.
On April 24, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the United States proposed their strategy on Ukraine during talks in London, however, according to him, after the United States proposal, “another paper appeared.”
