KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied reports suggesting the existence of an agreed-upon “12-point peace plan” to end the war with Russia.

“It’s important in this matter whether I, as the President of Ukraine, have seen this plan. I haven’t. I think that answers all the questions. There are different European thoughts and proposals regarding a peaceful settlement,” Zelenskyy said in remarks cited by Ukrainian National News Agency (Ukrinform).

He also expressed surprise at claims regarding Russia’s alleged participation in possible negotiations, saying: “It’s strange to hear that Russia is at the negotiating table, since currently no European leader or the US president can force them to do so.”

Zelensky stressed that any further progress toward a peace settlement must involve the United States, emphasizing that moving to a diplomatic stage is impossible without Washington’s political and military support.

“Our position is this: there are now consultations among advisers, several different discussions are ongoing, but there is no concrete, finalized plan on the table yet,” he added.
