"The President of Ukraine has officially received a draft plan from the American side, which, according to the American side's assessment, could invigorate diplomacy," Volodymyr Zelensky's office said in a statement.

Kyiv did not reveal the contents of the plan, which, according to details provided to AFP by a source familiar with the matter, appeared to echo many of Moscow's maximalist demands for ending the war.

They included Ukraine ceding land to Russia and limiting the size of its army.
