US President Donald Trump has announced he’s sending his envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Moscow. They will discuss Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine – which is widely seen as echoing Russian demands. When asked about criticism of his 28-point peace plan for being too favorable to Russia, Trump described it as a "map, not a plan," saying that it has been revised down to 22 points. Trump also stressed that Moscow too was "making concessions," adding that they come in the form that "they stop fighting, and they don’t take any more land." Trump moreover said there was no deadline for the talks. "You know what the deadline for me is? When it’s over," he said.
In a virtual meeting between Ukraine and its allies, President Volodymyr signalled support for the proposal – but said sensitive issues need to be addressed with President Trump. Despite talks progressing, Russia launched a mass drone assault in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, injuring dozens. Authorities say more than 30 apartment blocks were damaged.
