President Zelensky stated that "protecting territorial integrity" is the biggest challenge in negotiations concerning the US plan to end the conflict.

Andriy Yermak, former chief of staff to Ukraine's president, asserted his integrity and intent to deploy to the front lines, hours after submitting his resignation.

Ukraine's anti-corruption agency has searched the private residence of Andriy Yermak, President Zelensky's chief of staff, escalating the country's political crisis.

An advisor to president Zelensky states Ukraine will not yield on territorial integrity or constitutional autonomy in any peace agreement with Russia.

Trump states he will only meet the Russian and Ukrainian presidents when a peace agreement is complete or in its final stages.

President Zelensky has navigated numerous political storms over nearly four years of conflict, but a new US peace plan presents a unique challenge for him.

Russia warns President Zelensky to begin negotiations "right now" or risk losing more territory, following the US sending a new peace plan to Ukraine.
