Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky’s upcoming meeting in Florida is the latest in a series of diplomatic efforts involving the US and Ukraine’s European allies aimed at ending the war. Let’s take a look at the most recent.<\/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 Zelensky said his country risked either losing its dignity, or losing US support. European allies criticised the plan.<\/p>\n Geneva talks<\/p>\n Talks followed in Geneva on 23 November, with delegations sent by the US, Ukraine and its European allies. Details of a European counter-proposal with terms more favourable to Ukraine were widely reported, although the BBC could not independently verify them.<\/p>\n Russia-US talks<\/p>\n Talks between Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff at the start of December failed to produce a breakthrough<\/a>. 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 This was followed by three days of talks in Miami between Zelensky’s chief negotiator Rustem Umerov and his US counterparts. <\/p>\n Shortly afterwards, Trump accused Zelensky of not having read the revised draft plan, but Zelensky said he was waiting to be briefed by his negotiators “in person”.<\/p>\n Berlin talks<\/p>\n In mid-December, the US said it was ready to offer Ukraine Nato-like security guarantees<\/a> to safeguard an eventual ceasefire, following talks in Berlin.<\/p>\n Zelensky signalled for the first time that as a “compromise” he would give up ambitions to join Nato in exchange for strong guarantees.<\/p>\n 20-point plan<\/p>\n
