“As early as this week, we are expecting the Minister of Land Forces in Kyiv, and we are ready to continue working as quickly as possible to finalize the steps necessary to end the bloodshed,” he wrote in his telegram.
According to him, “there is a good foundation made in Geneva, and President Zelenskyi and the entire team in Kyiv are fully committed to further work.”
“Ukraine has never been and never will be an obstacle to peace. We are grateful to the United States for all the support. The meeting of the presidents will be thoroughly and promptly prepared by us,” Yermak added.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that his special envoy Steve Witkoff will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, while Dan Driscoll will meet with the Ukrainian side.
Trump also expressed hope for a meeting with Zelenskyi and Putin in the near future, but only when the agreement to end the war “is final or in the final stages.”

On November 23, in Geneva, the United States and Ukraine tried to converge on the plan to end the war proposed by the Trump administration. In a statement by the White House and the Office of the President of Ukraine following the meeting, it was said that the parties have prepared an updated and refined concept that fully supports Ukraine’s sovereignty and will help ensure a just peace.

According to mass media, the new plan has not 28, but 19 points. It excludes demands for limiting the size of the Armed Forces and amnesty for war crimes.
The White House said there were “several delicate but not insurmountable details” of the peace deal that would require further negotiations between Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
Russian President Dmitry Peskov’s spokesman said earlier on November 25 that Moscow considers Trump’s initial plan “a very good basis for negotiations.” He noted that in Moscow they “understand” that in the process of consultations between the USA and Ukraine, adjustments are being made to the plan.
But, according to him, Moscow still has not received any updated peace plans to end the war in Ukraine.
