Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov has denied media reports claiming that certain points of a plan to end the war in Ukraine were allegedly approved or removed during consultations with the U.S. delegation currently in Kyiv.
“As work with the U.S. delegation continues in Kyiv, various assumptions about the content of the consultations have appeared in the public. I want to clarify briefly and immediately. During my trip to the United States, my task was technical — organizing meetings and preparing the dialogue. I did not provide any assessments or, even less, approve any points. This is not within my authority and is not in line with procedure,” Umerov stated on Telegram.
He emphasized that work continues at the technical level between the teams in Kyiv.

“Yesterday, the President of Ukraine spoke with the U.S. delegation authorized by President (U.S. President Donald) Trump. Today, this work continues in Kyiv at the technical level between the teams. We are carefully studying all the proposals of our partners, expecting the same correct attitude toward the Ukrainian position,” Umerov explained, as reported by Ukrinform.
He stated that media reports about alleged “agreements” or “removal of items” do not correspond to reality.
“These are examples of unverified information that arose outside the context of the consultations. We are carefully reviewing our partners’ proposals within the framework of Ukraine’s unchanging principles — sovereignty, the security of the people, and a just peace,” Umerov concluded.

According to the newspaper Hromadske, senior U.S. officials claim that Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov allegedly agreed to a new U.S. peace plan.
The New York Post, citing its own sources, reports that officials received “positive feedback” from him during negotiations with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami over the past weeks.
According to a source from the newspaper, Umerov agreed with most of the plan and made a few modifications to it.
U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Julie Davis stated that she and U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll held “extremely constructive talks” with the Ukrainian leadership on Thursday regarding ending the war.
Earlier, U.S. media reported that the Trump administration had conducted secret consultations with the Russians to develop a new plan to end the war in Ukraine. The plan contains 28 points grouped into four general categories: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe, and future relations between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine.
