Ukraine Presents Its Own Peace Demands to US

Ukraine has sent a detailed counterproposal to a U.S. peace plan. The move comes after Kyiv took time to review the American proposal carefully. The Ukrainian plan addresses critical issues. These include territorial concessions and improving security around the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. It also has provisions for potential future elections in Ukraine. Additionally, the document outlines Ukraine's ongoing military requirements. It explores the possibility of the country joining the NATO alliance in the future. The diplomatic activity happens as former U.S. President Donald Trump plans a trip to Europe next week. Trump has stated he will only make the journey if he believes it is worthwhile.
