Initial drafts of U.S. proposals for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia meet many of Kyiv's demands, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday (December 22, 2025). But U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said on Sunday (December 21) he held “productive and constructive” talks in Florida with Ukrainian and European representatives. The U.S. team is now in talks with Russian envoys, and Washington has asked that no details be released, he added. Ukrainian forces hit an oil terminal, a pipeline, two parked jet fighters and two ships in a series of strikes on Russian soil, officials said Monday. Ukrainian forces stopped 58 of them, it said.
