Ukraine sent a revised peace plan to Washington, as US President Donald Trump held a call with European leaders, according to a person familiar with the matter, as both sides scrambled to keep efforts on track to end Russia’s invasion.
The war-torn country’s latest submission was sent as Trump held a separate discussion with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday.
That phone call was outlined in statements from the German and UK governments and confirmed by a White House official.

Weeks of talks have produced a document that is more palatable to Kyiv, but several sticking points, including territory and security guarantees, continue to stymie a deal.
While Ukraine is ready to discuss peace along the front lines, a ceasefire should precede any negotiations, Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Wednesday at the Aspen Security Forum in Washington.
“Intensive work on the peace plan is continuing and will continue in the coming days,” according to a readout of the call published by the British government.
