The visit comes amid active discussions on a new peace plan and a possible resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Oleksandr Krayev, an expert at the Foreign Policy Council \u201cUkrainian Prism,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5Ay25uePlBo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">expressed his opinion<\/a> on \u201cPryamoye\u201d that the policy of the current American administration regarding the settlement of Russian aggression remains ambiguous.<\/p>\n<p> On the one hand, the US continues to provide Ukraine with weapons, realizing that this is the only effective way to conduct a dialogue with Moscow, and on the other hand, there are attempts to initiate a peace process, the details of which are not fully understood, Krayev noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/5Ay25uePlBo?t=58<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/trumps-peace-plan-how-minditchgate-will-affect-negotiations-with-russia\/\">Trump&#8217;s peace plan: how &#8220;Minditchgate&#8221; will affect negotiations with Russia<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> The expert emphasizes that military support and diplomacy are inseparable parts of the peace process. Despite Trump&#8217;s desire to meet with Putin, the supply of weapons to Ukraine does not stop, as evidenced by new agreements with Sweden, increased assistance from France, and support from Spain.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Peace through force is a normal working concept, otherwise it will not work to talk to the Muscovites,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p> Therefore, Oleksandr Krayev summarized, the arrival of American generals to discuss peace in a military context is a completely logical step.<\/p>\n<p> Recall that the Donald Trump administration <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ssha-napravyly-viyskovu-delehatsiiu-na-peremovyny-shchodo-prypynennia-viyny-v-ukraini\/\">sent a high-ranking delegation from the Pentagon to Ukraine<\/a> to participate in negotiations on possible ways to end the war. The delegation includes US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and two four-star generals.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/territorial-concessions-army-reductions-and-weapons-disarmament-what-the-us-framework-peace-agreement-provides\/\">Territorial Concessions and Disarmament on the Table: What the U.S. \u201cFramework Peace Deal\u201d Really Demands<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> At the same time, Axios reports that the Trump administration has already held private talks with Russian officials to discuss a new framework for a potential peace plan. Sources say there is a preliminary 28-point document. The Russian side told reporters that it generally views the proposal positively, but is unsure how Ukraine and its European partners will perceive it.<\/p>\n<p> It was previously reported that the Trump administration is working on <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ssha-rozrobliaiut-myrnyy-plan-z-rf-bez-uchasti-ukrainy\/\">a new large-scale peace project<\/a> to end the war in Ukraine and is already preparing to present it as a finished document. Later it became known that Trump&#8217;s &#8220;peace plan&#8221; provides for <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ukraina-maie-vyyty-z-donbasu-a-svit-vyznaty-krym-rosiyskym-z-iavylysia-novi-detali-myrnoho-planu-trampa\/\">the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions<\/a> , as well as the freezing of the contact line in Kherson and Zaporizhia regions.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, NBC News reported that US President Donald <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/vidmova-vid-vstupu-v-nato-ta-orendna-plata-za-donbas-tramp-skhvalyv-myrnyy-plan-dlia-vrehuliuvannia-viyny\/\">Trump has already approved a 28-point peace plan<\/a> between Ukraine and Russia. The relevant agreements were secretly developed by senior US officials in consultation with Russian Ambassador Kirill Dmitriev and Ukrainian officials.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most senior military officials in the Donald Trump administration, Dan Driscoll, has arrived in Kyiv for talks with the Ukrainian military leadership and President Zelensky.
