U.S. Special Envoy to Discuss Peace Plan with Zelensky and European Leaders in Berlin
The U.S. special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Berlin this weekend. This meeting is part of ongoing efforts by the United States to push for a resolution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The discussions come in the wake of recent Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities, which have left thousands without power. President Zelensky has emphasized that Russia's actions are aimed at destroying Ukraine, rather than ending the war. The U.S. has proposed a 28-point peace plan, which has been criticized for aligning with some of Moscow's demands, including territorial concessions by Ukraine. The plan has sparked diplomatic activity between the U.S., Ukraine, and European allies, with Ukraine recently submitting a revised version to Washington.
