A lot of diplomacy has taken place in the weeks leading up to today’s meeting in London. Here’s a recap of how these most recent talks have progressed:<\/p>\n
28-point peace plan<\/p>\n
In November, details of a US-backed 28-point peace plan<\/a> emerged. This was widely seen as favourable to Russia, requiring Ukraine to concede territory, reduce the size of its army, and pledge not to join Nato.<\/p>\n Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country risked either losing its dignity, or losing US support. European allies criticised the plan, saying it was too favourable to Russia.<\/p>\n Geneva talks<\/p>\n Talks followed in Geneva on 23 November, with delegations sent by the US, Ukraine and its European allies. <\/p>\n Details of a European counter-proposal were widely reported, including by news agency Reuters, with terms more favourable to Ukraine. <\/p>\n The BBC could not independently verify its contents, but it reportedly allowed for Ukraine’s inclusion in Nato and proposed security guarantees.<\/p>\n Russia-US talks<\/p>\n Five hours of talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff at the start of December failed to produce a breakthrough<\/a>.<\/p>\n A Kremlin spokesman said the Moscow meeting was “constructive”, but parts of the plan remained unacceptable to Russia.<\/p>\n US-Ukraine talks<\/p>\n Three days of talks took place in Miami last week between Witkoff and senior Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov. <\/p>\n
