"This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace," Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said about the Trump administration's 28-point proposal.

Ukraine’s Western allies rallied around the war-torn country on Saturday as they pushed to revise a U.S. peace plan seen as favoring Moscow despite its all-out invasion of its neighbor. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed Ukrainians “will always defend” their home.

Ukraine and its European allies signaled that key sticking points remained in U.S.-brokered peace talks even as senior officials hailed progress in winning more favorable terms for Kyiv from a proposal backed by President Donald Trump.
