Ukraine-US to Revisit Territorial and Nuclear Plant Issues in Wednesday Talks

US and Ukrainian negotiators will revisit the contentious issues of territory and the fate of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in their talks. Ukraine is under pressure from the US to secure peace, but opposes Russian demands to cede territory. The discussions focus on security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. The US has proposed the idea of a trilateral operation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, with an American director, while Ukraine proposes joint management with the US. Ukraine is unwilling to withdraw from the Donetsk region, but is discussing the possibility of creating a free economic zone there. Polls show that Ukrainians are ready for an agreement freezing the current front line, but oppose the cession of territories.
