In remarks to reporters released by his office Wednesday, Zelenskiy said Ukrainian and US delegations had inched closer to finalising a 20-point plan at the talks over the weekend in Miami.

“This is a document referred to as a framework — a foundational document on ending the war, a political document between us, America, Europe, and the Russians,” Zelenskiy said.

“We are ready for a meeting with the United States at the leaders’ level to address sensitive issues. Matters such as territorial questions must be discussed at the leaders’ level.”
