He announced this during a meeting with journalists.According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the updated version of the peace plan is not static and is not limited to a single text. It consists of 20 key points that create a foundation for subsequent, more detailed agreements."This is not one document, it's a complex of documents... many of them have not yet been finalized," Zelenskyy noted. He explained that the basic plan only forms a framework within which individual areas will later be worked out: from security guarantees to post-war economic recovery.One of the topics where clear understanding has already been reached is the future size of the Ukrainian army. The president emphasized that Ukraine has agreed on this point with international partners and military command."800,000 military personnel — this is the actual size of today's army, this has been agreed upon with the military," Zelenskyy said, and stressed that the corresponding point has already been sufficiently worked out within the plan.According to the head of state, the subject of complex negotiations remains the issue of territories and the future status of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. These points, according to the president, are currently among the most contentious.Zelenskyy emphasized that territorial issues featured in U.S. proposals can only be resolved by Ukrainian citizens — through elections or a referendum.Ukraine submitted its updated response to the U.S. peace framework on Wednesday, as President Donald Trump intensified diplomatic efforts with European allies to bring an end to the nearly four-year war with Russia.
