President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the revised US-backed peace plan now contains 20 points, following consultations in Geneva and subsequent discussions in Florida.
"Some things still need to be worked out. That's from what I've seen," Zelenskyy said during a press conference in Ireland on 2 December.
The Ukrainian president emphasized that the US is taking serious steps to end the war, but stressed the shared objective must be "to end the war, not just get a pause in hostilities."
"A dignified peace is needed. And for this to really happen, everyone must be on the side of peace," he added.
Zelenskyy said he is awaiting signals from US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who are meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on 2 December.
"They want to report to us immediately after their meeting. I think future steps will depend on these signals, and they will change hourly," the president stated. He added that he is ready to meet with US President Donald Trump and that "everything depends on today's talks."
The Trump administration's original proposal contained 28 points and drew sharp criticism in Ukraine and internationally for provisions that critics called a list of Russian demands. According to reports, the initial draft required Ukraine to cede the remainder of Donbas, halve the Armed Forces, freeze the front line in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts, and recognize Russian as a state language.
Financial Times reported that a revised framework was reduced to 19 points after Geneva consultations, incorporating counterproposals from the UK, Germany, and France regarding army limitations.
Zelenskyy previously confirmed that the updated version no longer includes all 28 original points and suggested the proposal "may become workable." Ukrainian and US delegations have since met again to continue aligning the Geneva framework "to a form that will lead to peace and security guarantees."
