Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that a peace agreement with Russia is “90% ready,” but the remaining 10% is crucial for achieving peace, the fate of Ukraine, and Europe. He emphasized that Ukraine wants the end of the war but will not accept an agreement at any cost, demanding strong security guarantees to prevent a new Russian invasion. While the US is trying to broker a deal, the main point of contention remains the fate of Ukraine's eastern regions, with Russia seeking to annex Donbas and other areas.
