KYIV: Ukraine and the US are launching talks in Switzerland on ways to end the war, a Ukrainian negotiator said on Saturday, after Washington sent Kyiv a plan which accepts some of Moscow’s demands. US President Donald Trump gave Kyiv less than a week to approve the 28-point plan to end the nearly four-year war war, which would see Ukraine ceding territory, cutting its army, and pledging to never join NATO.

Terms of the US-drafted, 28-point framework to end the war closely track Russian demands, according to news reports.

It comes amid reports the US and Russia have prepared a 28-point peace plan, allegedly containing major concessions for Ukraine.
