Ukraine Urges Acceleration of Peace Talks, Says only Trump Can Broker Deal

Ukraine aims to finalize a U.S.-brokered peace deal by March addressing land disputes, security guarantees, and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, with a referendum planned for May.

  • Momentum in negotiations, Sybiha said, means Kyiv is ready to speed up as only a few items remain unresolved from a 20-point plan, with leaders to settle the most sensitive issues.

  • Sources say a timetable discussed by Ukrainian and U.S. officials aims for a draft deal with Russia by March and a referendum in Ukraine alongside May elections, with Washington hoping to end the war before summer.
  • Russia, the occupying power, still holds nearly a fifth of Ukraine's territory and demands Ukraine cede 20% of Donetsk, with analysts estimating about 1.3% territorial gains since early 2023.
