MOSCOW, Dec 27, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Russia on Friday accused Ukraine of trying to "torpedo" talks on a US plan to end its military offensive, saying a text presented by Kyiv this week was "radically different" to one Moscow negotiated with Washington. "Especially in a context where Kyiv and its sponsors -- notably within the European Union, who are not in favour of an agreement -- have stepped up efforts to torpedo it." Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is to meet US counterpart Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday to discuss his new version of a US plan. "Without an adequate resolution of the problems at the origin of this crisis, it will be quite simply impossible to reach a definitive accord," Ryabkov said. According to the new 20-point plan revealed by Zelensky, the current front line would be frozen, but Ukraine could pull back troops from the east, where demilitarised buffer zones could be created.
