The United States is aiming to secure a comprehensive ceasefire agreement in Ukraine during a high-level meeting with Ukrainian officials scheduled to take place in London next week, according to The New York Post on April 19.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov reportedly informed US counterparts that Kyiv supports 90% of the peace framework proposed by President Donald Trump.
The plan was introduced earlier this week in Paris by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and two presidential envoys tasked with overseeing ceasefire negotiations.
As reported by The New York Post, the upcoming discussions in London are expected to focus on finalizing the ceasefire terms. US officials indicated that the goal is to subsequently present the proposal to Russia with a clear message: “This is your best and final offer.” The move is aimed at clarifying both sides’ positions and outlining potential next steps.
One US official noted that if Moscow declines to engage constructively, President Trump is prepared to suspend negotiations and shift responsibility for the ongoing war onto America’s European allies.

A key unresolved issue in the ceasefire plan involves the status of territory currently occupied by Russian forces. According to the report, Ukrainian concerns revolve around the distinction between “de facto” and “de jure” recognition — whether to acknowledge current control without conceding legal ownership, or to formally cede claims to the occupied areas.
To bring Russia to the negotiating table, Trump’s special envoy Stephen Witkoff may offer incentives, including potential sanctions relief and discussions around the unfreezing of approximately $300 billion in Russian assets held in Europe.
However, such moves may contradict earlier statements by Trump promising to increase financial pressure on Moscow.
Despite these efforts, Russian officials have expressed skepticism. Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s permanent representative to the United Nations, recently described the idea of a ceasefire as “unrealistic” at this stage.
Meanwhile, Moscow continues to carry out missile strikes on Ukrainian territory, including recent ballistic attacks.
Experts interviewed by the New York Post argue that Russia’s actions may be aimed at undermining Trump’s international position by rejecting ceasefire terms he seeks to promote. They also note that without a shift in the US administration’s approach to accountability, similar behavior from the Kremlin is likely to persist.
UPD: Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense has denied reports that Kyiv supports 90% of the peace framework proposed by US President Donald Trump, challenging earlier claims made by The New York Post.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “certain progress” had been made in Ukraine peace talks, linking it to a temporary Russian moratorium on strikes against energy infrastructure.
