Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a senior Russian official offered guarded reactions to President Donald Trump's proposal to end Moscow's war in Ukraine.
Speaking in his nightly address on Nov. 20, Zelenskyy said that American military officials currently in Ukraine had presented "their vision" for securing a peace deal and that his country was carefully studying the proposals.
"From the first days of the war, we have upheld one very simple position: Ukraine needs peace. A real peace − one not broken by a third invasion," Zelenskyy said, adding that he expected to speak with Trump in the coming days.
