Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that Kyiv is preparing to discuss a set of “sensitive issues” with U.S. President Donald Trump, as pressure intensifies over Washington’s proposed peace framework. Speaking to reporters, Zelensky signaled that Ukraine is entering a critical phase of negotiations, with several key points likely to test the already strained relationship between Washington and Kyiv.
The comments come as U.S. officials continue to push Ukraine to take a position on Trump’s draft peace plan—an initiative that has sparked sharp debate across Europe and within Ukraine’s political leadership. Kyiv has insisted that any agreement must uphold Ukrainian sovereignty, security guarantees, and justice for civilians, while rejecting proposals that force territorial concessions or limit the country’s military capabilities.
Zelensky said that Ukraine’s approach will be firm but constructive, stressing that diplomacy must be rooted in “security, justice, and respect for Ukraine’s independence.” He added that discussions with the U.S. will require confidentiality due to the “delicate and complex nature” of the topics involved.
