A: Hey! Did you hear anything about Ukraine lately?

B: No, not really! What’s going on?

A: Apparently, Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, is working on a new peace plan!

B: Wow, really? When might it happen?

A: He says his team might meet with American people this weekend! And he wants to talk to President Trump too.

B: Interesting! So, they just finished a meeting in Berlin?

A: Yeah! They made some progress on security stuff, but they still disagree about land.

B: Hmm, tricky. What happens if Putin says no to the peace plan?

A: Zelenskyy thinks the US will put even *more* sanctions on Russia. And give Ukraine more weapons!

B: More weapons? Like what kind?

A: He wants air defense and long-range stuff, he calls it a “fair request.”

B: Makes sense, right? What do Ukrainians think about all this?

A: There’s a poll! Most Ukrainians (75%) don’t like Russia’s peace plan.

B: That's not surprising!

A: But most are okay with a plan made by Europe and Ukraine – freezing the fighting and getting security guarantees.

B: That sounds like a good start, at least!
