FOTODELDIA LEÓPOLIS (UCRANIA), 25/12/2025.- Muchas familias acuden a las tumbas de sus seres queridos, caídos en la Guerra contra Rusia, para pasar un tiempo juntos en Navidad y dejar regalos simbólicos este jueves, en Leópolis (Ucrania). Ucrania celebró este jueves su cuarta Navidad en guerra entre ataques rusos y con escasas esperanzas de paz, mientras aguardaba la respuesta oficial de Moscú al plan de 20 puntos para poner fin al conflicto elaborado por Kiev y Washington. Muchas familias, que incluían a soldados de permiso o en rehabilitación, paseaban el día de hoy por las calles de Leópolis (oeste) y de otras ciudades ucranianas, en un intento de absorber al menos un poco de espíritu navideño.

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski said his team is working "relentlessly" to make the foundations of the peace agreement "realistic, effective and reliable."



On Thursday, Zelensky spoke on the phone with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in a joint call with other US and Ukrainian authorities.

Both sides have discussed various details of the peace process. "Significant progress has been made in working on the documents, particularly with regard to security guarantees and the economic future," he said.

Later, Zelensky has assured us that the conversation has been "really good." "We have gone into a lot of details; good ideas have emerged, and we have discussed them. We have some new ideas about the formats, the meetings and, of course, the deadlines for achieving real peace, "he said.

Ukraine's president announced on Wednesday the details of the draft joint plan with the US, which opens the door to the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops deployed in the Donbas region on condition that Russia "do the same" with the forces around it.

The document has 20 points and is supported by the United States. They sent it to Moscow. Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dimitriev has informed President Vladimir Putin of the results of recent talks with the US.
