KIEV, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Kiev has received a draft document from the United States on security guarantees for Ukraine, the Ukrinform news agency reported.
Ukraine will review the document, add its proposals and return it to the United States in several days, Zelensky told reporters.
He stressed that the security assurance document they were working on would ultimately go to the Ukrainian Congress, and they would need congressional support, emphasizing that effective security guarantees are necessary.
According to the Interfax-Ukraine news agency, Zelensky also announced that a draft peace plan being developed between Ukraine and the United States now envisages limiting Ukraine's military personnel to 800,000 service members.
Commenting on the issue regarding the territory of the Donetsk region, Zelensky said current U.S. proposals are "not in the interests of Ukraine," but emphasized the need to continue discussions to find a compromise.
If one side pulls back its forces by 5 or 10 km from the front line, the other should do the same, he said. ■
