President Trump Reveals Differences Regarding Ukraine's Peace Plan To Stay Little

JAKARTA - United States President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, "there are only a few points of disagreement left" regarding the conflict peace plan in Ukraine.

President Trump said he had directed the US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as the Secretary of the Army andaturation to meet with Ukrainian leaders.

"The initial peace plan, which consists of 28 points, designed by the United States, has been refined, with additional input from both sides," he wrote in a post on Truth Social.

The initial proposal, drawn up between the US and Russia, has been refined into a 19-point plan that Kyiv and his European partners can accept.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to meet Trump as soon as this week to resolve disagreements, Axios reported, citing his chief of staff.

However, President Trump, who initially set Thursday's deadline for Ukraine to agree to the deal, said in his post he would only meet with President Putin when the peace deal was in its final stages.

"Let us all hope that peace can be achieved as soon as possible," he wrote.

It is known that the 28-point peace plan that emerged last week surprised many parties in the US, Kyiv and European governments, sparking new concerns that the Trump Administration may be willing to push Ukraine to sign a peace deal that is heavily inclined towards Moscow.

The plan requires Kyiv to give up territory outside nearly 20 percent of the Ukrainian territory that Russia has captured since the massive invasion in February 2022, and to accept military restrictions and ban him from joining NATO. This is a condition that Kyiv has long rejected because it is considered tantamount to giving up.

On Monday, he said the latest peace plan included "precise" points after negotiations in Geneva over the weekend.

"Sensitive issues, the most sensitive points, I will discuss with President Trump," President Zelensky said in his evening video address.

President Zelensky said the process of drafting final documents would be difficult. Russia's intense attacks on Ukraine have left many skeptical about how peace can be achieved soon.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the amended peace plan must reflect the "encouraging and content" of the understanding reached between President Putin and President Trump at a summit in Alaska.

"If Anchorage's passion and content are erased in terms of the main understanding we have made, of course, the situation will be very different (for Russia)," Foreign Minister Lavrov warned.
