The overnight attacks came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed changes to a US-backed peace plan.<\/p>\n

Kyiv and its allies in Europe have been pushing the US to amend the plan, fearing it concedes too much to Russia.<\/p>\n

Both the Ukraine and the US have signalled progress in recent days, with Zelensky issuing another optimist message late last night.<\/p>\n

He said the plan, which had originally featured 28 items, had been slimmed down and “many of the right elements have been taken into account”.<\/p>\n

Zelensky wrote on social media: “Now the list of necessary steps to end the war can become doable.”<\/p>\n

Suggesting further talks with Trump are planned, Zelensky wrote: “Our team has reported on the new draft of steps, and this is indeed the right approach \u2013 I will discuss the sensitive issues with President Trump.”<\/p>\n

US and Ukrainian officials met in Geneva on Sunday to discuss the plan. Russian representatives did not take part in the meeting and dismissed the amendments as “completely unconstructive”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zelensky says US plan contains ‘many of the right elements’ after talkspublished at 05:57 GMT 05:57 GMT Image…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-282018","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
