US, Ukrainian delegations to continue peace plan talks

Ukrainian and U.S. delegations will continue discussions on the U.S.-proposed peace plan at the end of this week, Andriy Yermak, head of Ukraine's presidential office said Thursday, reported Xinhua.

"The key goal we share with our partners remains unchanged -- to achieve a lasting and dignified peace for Ukraine as soon as possible," Yermak said on Telegram.

He noted that the Ukrainian negotiating team is preparing for a constructive dialogue aimed at achieving tangible progress in defining steps to end the Ukraine crisis.

Yermak said Tuesday that negotiators had reached an agreement in principle on most elements of the plan, but the document had been significantly revised from the original 28 points.

On Sunday, Yermak led the Ukrainian delegation in talks with the United States in Geneva, Switzerland.
