Ukraine has shared a new 20-point peace plan with the US. This plan is a big step towards ending the war with Russia. But there are still some big disagreements.
One big issue is about who controls what land. Ukraine and the US have different ideas. Ukraine wants to keep the land it has now. The US wants to create special zones where no one can have soldiers. Russia wants Ukraine to give up some land.
Another big issue is about the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. This is the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe. It's right near the front lines. The US wants Ukraine, the US, and Russia to all run it together. But Ukraine wants only the US and Ukraine to run it. They want Ukraine to get half of the energy made there.
The plan also talks about other things. Ukraine wants to join the EU. It wants the US and NATO to promise to help if Russia attacks. It wants money to help rebuild the country. It wants all prisoners of war to be released. And it wants Russia to promise not to attack Ukraine or Europe again.
But not everyone agrees on everything. The US and Ukraine still need to talk more. They need to find a way to solve these big issues.
Peace is not easy. It takes time and compromise. But this plan is a start. It's a step towards ending the war. But there's still a lot of work to do.
