MOSCOW (AA) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that "destructive points" have been removed from the draft of a peace agreement on the Ukrainian settlement.

In a statement on Telegram late on Monday, Zelenskyy praised his meeting with a US delegation—led by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, an unofficial advisor to President Donald Trump—in Berlin, saying they have "learned all details about the war."

"Unconditionally, we have different positions with Russia in terms of territories. We need to understand this and talk about it openly. And I think that the American side, as a mediator, will propose various steps to find at least some kind of consensus," he said.

Zelenskyy added that he insisted on clarifying issues of compensation and financing for Ukraine's restoration.

"It is necessary to understand the source of this financing," he said.

Regarding security guarantees, he noted that discussions are ongoing. "Now we are simply working to get all this in black and white. And we have progress in this regard."

Zelenskyy also remarked that "details from the military that they have been working on look very good, although this is the first draft."
