American officials held lengthy negotiations with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Berlin.

Negotiations between Ukraine and its Western partners have turned into a tug-of-war, even without Russia at the negotiating table, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Washington insists on quick decisions, while Zelensky and his European supporters argue that there are still significant differences that need to be resolved.

The talks will continue on December 15, and several European leaders are expected to join them.

Among the key points of contention is Ukraine's resistance to Washington's call to withdraw its troops from part of eastern Donbas. European and Ukrainian officials insist on a clear definition of US actions in the event of Russia violating the peace agreement and re-attacking Ukraine.

Both issues will be the focus of the talks in Berlin.

After the talks ended late last night, US Special Representative Steve Whitcoff said that both sides had held in-depth discussions on the peace plan.

“Significant progress has been made, and they will meet again tomorrow morning,” he said.

A source familiar with the talks in Berlin described them as difficult, saying that the American side did not seem willing to compromise on its draft peace agreement.
