Ending a complex and deadly war such as the one in Ukraine requires an extensive exchange of serious and realistic ideas.

His statement came amid press reports that US President Donald Trump had approved a 28-point peace plan between Russia and Ukraine, developed by the administration secretly with Russia. As reported in the press, the plan, which was created in consultation with the Russian envoy, was not agreed in detail with the Ukrainian side.
According to Reuters, sources said that "the proposals include, among other things, a reduction in the size of the Ukrainian armed forces."
