When asked by a reporter on Saturday whether the draft is a final offer to Ukraine, US President Donald Trump replied:
No, not my last offer, he says, adding that the war must end "one way or another."
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, envoy Steve Witkoff and Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll are expected to arrive in Geneva on Sunday for discussions on Trump's plan to end the war, a US government source confirmed to AFP.
Britain, France and Germany are also participating in the talks, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Our representatives know how to defend Ukraine's national interests and exactly what needs to be done to prevent Russia from launching a third invasion," Zelensky said earlier on Saturday.
Continuing to arm
Trump has demanded that Kiev provide a statement by Thursday on the 28-point draft peace agreement that has been presented, a draft that has been criticized by European leaders for being heavily biased in favor of Russia.
Diplomatic efforts are continuing in several directions. On Saturday, Zelenskyy had a digital meeting with Nordic and Baltic leaders, including Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M).
"We will continue to arm Ukraine and strengthen Europe's defenses to deter further Russian aggression," the countries announced in a joint statement.
"Aggression against a neighboring country must never pay off. A sustainable and just peace is important for Ukraine - but also for us in Sweden," writes Kristersson on X.
Vulnerable to Russian attacks
The plan is seen as "a foundation that will require further work," according to a statement from European leaders as well as Canada and Japan, who met in connection with this weekend's G20 summit in South Africa.
"We are clear about the principle that borders must not be changed by force. We are also concerned about the proposed limitations on Ukraine's armed forces, which would make Ukraine vulnerable to future attacks," the leaders said in the joint statement, which also stressed that the parts of the plan relating to the EU and NATO require the consent of the countries concerned.
EU Council President Antonio Costa says he has invited the leaders of the 27 EU countries to a special meeting on Ukraine on the sidelines of the EU-African Union summit in the Angolan capital Luanda on Monday.
On Saturday, all leaders of the G20 countries also called for a "just, comprehensive and lasting peace."
