Zelenskyy and US envoys to push on with Ukraine talks in Berlin on Monday

Zelensky met with US envoys and European leaders to discuss a 20-point peace proposal including security guarantees and territorial issues amid ongoing conflict with Russia.

  • On Dec. 15, talks in Berlin will continue to finalise a peace plan after Volodymyr Zelenskyy met U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and was hosted by Friedrich Merz.
  • Zelenskyy is seeking legally binding 'Article 5-like' guarantees as part of the talks, which aim to secure NATO-like bilateral guarantees while resolving territorial and force-size questions after Kyiv recently sent a revised U.S. proposal.
  • U.S. readouts said substantial progress was made after Sunday's discussions, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted `We began our meeting` with photos of his delegation and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff alongside EUCOM commander Alexus Grynkewich.
  • Relinquishing its NATO bid, Volodymyr Zelenskyy accepted a major political shift ahead of talks as European allies consider using frozen Russian sovereign assets to support Kyiv; the Kremlin signaled strong objections.
  • Despite talks, Moscow's demand that Kyiv cede Donetsk keeps territorial issues unresolved, while Russian forces and drones launched fresh strikes during negotiations.
