Zelenskyy: Ukrainian and EU advisers to discuss plan to end war

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that Ukrainian and EU advisers will meet on 31 October or 1 November to discuss the outlines of a plan to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.

"I think our advisers will meet in the coming days. We have set a tentative date of Friday or Saturday. They will discuss the outlines of this plan," Zelenskyy said during a meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel, as quoted by Interfax-Ukraine.

Earlier, Zelenskyy told Axios that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin is unlikely to accept a peace proposal currently being developed by the Coalition of the Willing.

During a meeting in London on 24 October, members of the Coalition of the Willing agreed on a plan for Ukraine that includes strengthening air defence and unlocking frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Zelenskyy said the Coalition of the Willing has agreed on decisions that will increase pressure on Russia.
