(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The head of state reported this to Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

“I spoke with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Mark expressed his condolences in connection with Russia's horrific attack on Ternopil. Thirty-one people were killed, including six children. Search and rescue operations at the site of this tragedy are still ongoing,” he wrote.

Zelensky emphasized that Ukrainians want an end to the war, an end to the killings, and a dignified peace more than anyone else in the world.

“We discussed the available diplomatic options and the plan proposed by the American side. We are ready to work quickly and constructively to make it work. We are coordinating our next steps. Thank you for your support!” he said.

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukraine, the US, and Europe will work at the advisor level to make the path to peace truly viable.

US President Donald Trump confirmed on Friday that his administration has set next Thursday as the deadline for Ukraine to agree to the White House's plan to end the Russian war.

President Volodymyr Zelensky officially received from the American side a draft plan, which, according to the American side, could revitalize diplomacy.

Earlier, American media reported that the Trump administration had held secret consultations with the Russians to develop a new plan to end the war in Ukraine. According to Axios, the plan consists of 28 points and is divided into four general categorie: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe, and future US relations with Russia and Ukraine.

In particular, according to media reports, Kyiv is expected to relinquish control of the Donbas regions under Ukraine's control, reduce its army, and give up a significant portion of its weapons. The plan provides for the transfer of the remaining Donbas territories in exchange for security guarantees from the US for Kyiv and Europe in the event of future Russian aggression.

Ukraine is also required to enshrine in its Constitution a provision that it will never join NATO, and the Alliance must include in its charter a clause on the impossibility of Ukraine's future membership. NATO, in turn, will not deploy its troops on the territory of Ukraine. In addition, the plan provides for elections to be held in Ukraine 100 days after the agreement is signed.
