The head of the OP, Andriy Yermak, said that there is currently no peace plan from the Trump team, and the Ukrainian side has not seen it. Yermak also expressed hope for fruitful cooperation with the newly appointed special representative Keith Kellogg.
There is no peace plan for the team of US President-elect Donald Trump, and the Ukrainian side has not seen it yet. This was stated by the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, in an interview with the Karpiak on Suspilne project, UNN reports.
Yermak was asked if he was aware of the potential peace plan of Keith Kellogg, who was chosen by Donald Trump as special representative for Ukraine and Russia.
"Let's put this to rest. There is no plan yet and we have not seen it for sure. We know that there are several opinions, several positions, and they are being discussed. What is important is that during my meetings, I noticed this for myself, it does not often happen with politicians, but the people I met with listened, they were interested, they asked questions, very deep questions," Yermak said.
Yermak noted that they wanted more information.
"I think the main thing for us now is to really give all this information, to give our position, to explain why we think so. To explain why a cease-fire is not a result, an achievement. Previously, the Russians violated the ceasefire in a few days," Yermak said.
In addition, Yermak believes that Keith Kellogg is a very good choice.
"I hope for our fruitful cooperation. This time, my meeting in (the US - ed.) was without him, but we remain in contact," Yermak said.

Yermak statedthat Ukraine is not yet ready to negotiate with Russia to end the war in the context of strong negotiating positions, as clear guarantees are needed that Russia will not attack again in two or three years.
