Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been careful not to criticise or reject this US draft peace deal - even though it appears to heavily reflect many of Moscow's demands.
In his nightly address, Zelensky said Ukraine needed peace and would engage in diplomacy and issue no rash statements. He said Ukraine was "ready for constructive, honest and efficient work".
But there is deep concern about some of the reported proposals, including giving up the entire Donbas region, reducing the size of Ukraine's military, and ruling out the presence of international troops in the country - concessions which Ukraine has rejected in the past.
Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Yurchyshyn told the Kyiv Independent that Washington wanted a "quick peace at the expense of one side, which they consider weaker".
Recent events may have further weakened Ukraine's position. Russia has made further advances in the east of the country. Moscow's long-range strikes on Ukraine's grid has left most of the country facing power cuts. Allegations of serious corruption in Ukraine's government have also led to political infighting and diverted attention from the war.
