According to the statement, the meetings were attended by the US peace envoy Stephen Whitcove, White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner, along with the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov, and Chief of the General Staff General Andriy Hnatov, to end the conflict and achieve a long-term settlement.
The US State Department confirmed that during its discussions with the Ukrainian delegation, the United States addressed the results of its negotiations with Russia to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. The statement mentioned that “the participants (in the meeting) discussed the outcomes of the recent meeting between the US and Russian sides and steps to end the war.”

Speaking during the Russian Security Council meeting on November 21, President Vladimir Putin stated that “the American plan” could form the basis for a final peaceful settlement, although this document is not currently being discussed substantially with Russia.
