Ukraine reaches “understanding” with US on peace plan as Trump says “deal may be close” | BBC News
Ukraine says a “common understanding” has been reached with the US on a peace deal aimed at ending the war with Russia.
The proposal is based on a 28-point plan presented to Ukraine by the US last week.
In a post on social media, US President Donald Trump said the original plan had been fine-tuned and “a deal may be close”. He’s sending his special envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow discuss the plan with Russia’s President Putin.
The Kremlin said earlier that Russia had not yet been consulted on the new draft deal and warned that it might not accept amendments to the original plan.
Some of the key issues which divide Russia and Ukraine are reported to remain unaddressed so far – including security guarantees for Ukraine and control of several regions in the east of the country.
European leaders have expressed scepticism that peace could be in reach. The French President Emmanuel Macron said he saw “no Russian will for a ceasefire” while the UK warned there was still “a long way to go.”

US President Donald Trump said the United States has carried out a new wave of strikes on Iran, in response to attempted Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and against US service personnel stationed in the Middle East.
Ahead of the strikes, the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had said his country was willing to return to the conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the US and Iran in June.
Those comments came as Pezeshkian met with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan. The Iranian president told his Russian counterpart that together their two countries could resist what he called “US unilateralism”.

Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigner Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to collusion with foreign entities, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison under Beijing’s sweeping National Security Law (NSL).
The 29-year-old, who has become the poster child for political activism in Hong Kong, is already serving a sentence of four years and eight months after being convicted of subversion – another NSL violation – in late 2024.
The court said Wong would be sentenced at a later date. His earlier jail term is due to end early next year.
Wong was at the forefront of the Umbrella Movement in 2014 and massive pro-democracy protests in 2019.
The latest charge accuses Wong of conspiring with other campaigners, including exiled activist Nathan Law, to ask foreign countries and entities outside China to impose sanctions or blockades against Beijing.

Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US strike is the first known attack on Iran since President Donald Trump paused a renewed military campaign in late July.
Iran said it had struck US military bases in Jordan in response, with Jordan’s army saying it had intercepted eight missiles early on Monday morning.
Iran’s state TV also said the Iranian army had targeted an air base in the UAE with drones, however, the UAE’s Ministry of Defence denied the reports that Al-Minhad Air Base had been targeted as “unfounded”. The UAE did confirm it shot down a drone.
