The plan, which involves significant concessions from Ukraine, including the transfer of some controlled territories to Russia, has caused concern. However, instead of outright refusal, Zelenskyy agreed to negotiations. The President's Office announced that he "expects to discuss this with President Trump in the coming days."
According to a Ukrainian official, Driscoll handed Zelenskyy a copy of the plan during a meeting in Kyiv. A statement from Zelenskyy's office said that the president "outlined fundamental principles that are important to our people, and after today's meeting, the parties agreed to work on the provisions of the plan in such a way that it would lead to a just end to the war."
