Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that initial drafts of U.S.-proposed peace agreements with Russia address most of Kyiv’s key demands, though he acknowledged that neither side is likely to get everything it wants. He described the talks as “quite solid” and highlighted that nearly 90% of Ukraine’s demands are reflected in the draft documents.

The proposed peace framework includes a 20-point plan and a set of bilateral and multilateral security guarantees involving the United States and European countries. Zelenskyy emphasized that the Ukrainian army would maintain a peacetime strength of 800,000, while European forces, supported by the U.S., would ensure Ukraine’s security across land, sea, and air. Some provisions are expected to be reviewed by the U.S. Congress, with classified annexes for sensitive details.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been pushing for a settlement, described the negotiations as progressing “OK” during his Mar-a-Lago vacation, while U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff called discussions with Ukrainian and European representatives “productive and constructive.” Talks with Russian officials are ongoing, with Washington requesting confidentiality on details.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces conducted a series of attacks deep inside Russian territory, targeting oil terminals, pipelines, ammunition depots, and Russian military installations. Ukrainian partisans reportedly set fire to Russian fighter jets near Lipetsk, while missile strikes hit the 92nd River Boat Brigade in occupied Crimea, aiming to disrupt Russian operations and weaken Moscow’s bargaining position.

Russia continued targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in a tactic described by Kyiv as “weaponizing winter.” Overnight attacks across five regions involved 86 drones, of which Ukrainian forces intercepted 58. The strikes sought to deprive civilians of heat and running water as winter deepens, adding humanitarian pressure amid ongoing peace negotiations.

Zelenskyy said defensive lines remain firm despite intensified Russian offensives, while Ukrainian strikes inside Russia and occupied territories demonstrate Kyiv’s strategy to counterbalance Moscow’s military leverage. The situation underscores the fragile balance between diplomatic progress and continued conflict on the ground.
