Volodymyr Zelenskiy is scrambling to resist a potentially humiliating peace deal put forward by US officials just as the Ukrainian president faces growing domestic pressure to ditch his most trusted aide in the war against Russia.

Zelenskiy has received signals from the US that he should accept the deal drawn up in consultation with Moscow, a person familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified because the matter is sensitive. President Donald Trump supports the plan, according to a senior US official.
