The USA and Europe have prepared a 22-point plan for a ceasefire in Ukraine: details.

Whitcoff met with Putin in Moscow and St. Petersburg

Special envoy of President Donald Trump, Steve Whitcoff, held unofficial meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on February 11, March 13, and in St. Petersburg on April 11. Whitcoff used Kremlin translators instead of his own, which drew criticism from the diplomatic community, violating diplomatic protocol, reports NBC News.

American diplomats developed a plan for Ukraine

The main outcome of the diplomatic negotiations was the preparation of a comprehensive document with conditions for ceasing the conflict in Ukraine. The package contains 22 specific proposals, including a 30-day ceasefire along the entire front line, preservation of civilian shipping in the Black Sea, and ensuring the security and defensive capabilities of Ukraine.

Putin threatens with the use of nuclear weapons

In a recent statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready for a logical conclusion to the war in Ukraine, even mentioning the possibility of using nuclear weapons. At the same time, there are hopes for reaching a peace agreement that would satisfy all parties to the conflict.

The American administration rejected the possibility of a meeting between Trump and Putin due to the lack of steps from Russia towards a ceasefire; instead, steps towards resolving the conflict were a result of the Chinese leader's visit to Russia.
