A group of US generals is likely to fly to Moscow at the end of next week to discuss the US peace plan for Ukraine, the British newspaper The Guardian writes, citing sources in the United States.
On November 20, a US delegation led by the head of the US Army Ground Forces, Daniel Driscoll, presented President Donald Trump's plan for resolving the conflict to Volodymyr Zelensky at a meeting in Kiev.
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier noted at a meeting with the Security Council that Russia is ready for negotiations and that the 28-point US peace plan could form the basis for settling the conflict in Ukraine. The Russian side is also satisfied that the dynamics on the front line are leading to the achievement of Moscow's goals by military means.
The continuation of the conflict in Ukraine will not improve Kiev's negotiating position, writes the British magazine The Economist, citing a source in the Ukrainian intelligence services.
“We are barely holding on at the moment. Who knows what will happen in two months? The proposed deal will not be better by then“, he said.
The publication emphasized that Ukraine is facing several simultaneous crises, including the rapid advance of Russian troops, a shortage of infantry and internal political scandals.
