New draft plan freezes front line: Ukraine Prez

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the latest version of a plan to end the Russian invasion would freeze the front line, but still pave the way for Ukrainian withdrawals and the creation of demilitarised zones.

Zelensky said the 20-point plan, agreed on by US and Ukrainian negotiators, was being reviewed by Moscow.

But it appears Kyiv has managed to shift the plan away from an original 28-point US proposal, which adhered to many of Russia’s core demands.

That plan had demanded that Ukraine withdraw from the 20% of the Donetsk region it still controls and that land occupied by Moscow be recognised as Russian territory.
