According to the media, Donald Trump’s emissary might travel to Moscow following Wednesday's meeting of the Ukrainian delegation and its allies in London.

On Monday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that representatives of Ukraine would be in London on Wednesday to discuss achieving an "unconditional ceasefire" with Russia, leading to "lasting peace," together with their allies.

"The Wall Street Journal" reported on Sunday evening that Kyiv is expected to respond during the meeting in London to a series of proposals from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, which, according to the American side, aim to end the war.

Crimea will be lost. Dreams of NATO too

The American proposal includes the U.S. recognizing Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea and blocking Ukraine's path to NATO, the newspaper noted.

There was also a proposal to establish a neutral zone around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which could be under U.S. control.
