00:00Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky says Kyiv has handed the United States new proposals aimed at ending the war with Russia.
00:08The announcement comes as Ukraine and Russia signal that American negotiators could soon visit both countries.
00:16While he did not detail the proposals, Zelensky expressed hope for Washington to help strengthen Ukraine's air defenses while increasing
00:24pressure on Moscow to end the war.
00:26The new proposals come as peace efforts have largely stalled since the U.S. and Israel launched their war on
00:32Iran.
00:33Russia and Ukraine held three rounds of U.S.-mediated peace talks earlier this year, with U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff
00:40and Jared Kushner last visiting Moscow in January.
00:44Meanwhile, Zelensky also accused Russia of preparing to use next month's parliamentary elections as a pretext for another large-scale
00:51military mobilization, a claim Moscow has previously rejected.
00:55Ukraine has repeatedly called for a ceasefire, while Russia says any settlement must involve Ukraine ceding the regions claimed by
01:03Moscow.
