US, Ukraine announce ‘updated & refined’ framework to end Russia’s war, but scepticism persists

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says any deal to end the war with Russia needs to strengthen his country, not weaken it.
He made the comments while addressing Sweden’s parliament saying more work is needed to achieve real peace.
It comes a day after talks in Geneva with US and European officials to thrash out Washington's so-called 28-point plan.

Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands reports from Kyiv, Ukraine and Yulia Shapovalova is following developments from Moscow, Russia.

Audrey Macalpine, a freelance journalist based in Kyiv, says Ukrainians are receiving mixed signals about the origins of the proposed peace plan after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed “substantial progress” had been made in Geneva.

Eldar Mamedov is a non-resident fellow at the Quincy Institute and a former Latvian diplomat.
He says the Baltic and Nordic states will continue to do what they can to provide maximum support for Ukraine.
