Zelenskyy told Bloomberg News that elements of the US plan require further discussion on several "sensitive issues", including security guarantees for a country devastated by war and control over the eastern regions.

The president noted that the negotiations have not yet reached agreement on Donbas.

"There are visions of the US, Russia and Ukraine – and we don’t have a unified view on Donbas," Zelenskyy said.

He added that Kyiv is insisting on a separate security-guarantee agreement with its Western allies, first and foremost the United States.

Background:

• Earlier, US President Donald Trump claimed that Russia "is fine with" the "peace plan", while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not even read it.
• Rustem Umierov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, has pledged to present Zelenskyy with detailed information about his meetings with the US side, which took place in Miami.
