KYIV/WASHINGTON ¨C Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after talks with a top U.S. Army official on Thursday he was ready for ¡°honest¡± work with Washington on a plan to end the war in Ukraine, while European allies pushed back against punishing concessions to Russia.
According to the U.S.-backed plan, Kyiv would be required to give up the entire Donbas region and significantly downsize its military, conditions long seen by Ukraine¡¯s allies as tantamount to capitulation.
The plan says Ukraine would have to limit its army to 600,000 troops and that it would ¡°receive robust security guarantees,¡± without providing further details.
