Amid the pressure to agree to the settlement plan presented by the US and backed by Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has held several calls with allies from Europe and Nato.
He has discussed the plan with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Antonio Costa and Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Zelensky's office says.
Earlier today, Zelensky also held a call with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
"Numerous meetings and phone calls are planned for the next few days. Teams from Ukraine, the US and Europe will be working together," President Zelensky's office said in a statement.
