US President Donald Trump said Sunday there was a "good chance" of a deal to end the war in Ukraine after the latest US negotiations with Kyiv, as his envoy prepares to travel to Russia for follow-up talks. However, no details regarding the revised peace plan for Ukraine have yet been made public, FRANCE 24's Gulliver Cragg reported, highlighting the two main sticking points in the original proposition: security guarantees and territorial concessions. 'The feeling in Ukraine is that the positions are not reconcilable and that the Russians don’t really want peace,' Cragg added, reporting from Kyiv.
