"As you know, there are significant diplomatic efforts on the peace plan for Ukraine, excluding the G20 meeting , "the source said.

US President Donald Trump on Friday gave Ukraine less than a week to respond to whether he accepts the White House peace plan that Kremlin Chief Vladimir Putin views favourably.
Trump's 28-point plan, leaked to the US media, has red lines for Kiev, such as reducing the army to a maximum of 600,000 people or handing over to Russia territories that Moscow has not conquered militarily.
Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed earlier this Friday to Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski that any peace plan for this country must involve Kiev.
Costawill also bring together the Heads of State and Government of the European Union (EU) who will attend the European Union-African Union summit in Angola on 24 November eta 25 to discuss Ukraine.
