Kyiv will hold consultations with the US in Switzerland on ending Russia's war in Ukraine, a top Ukrainian security official said on Saturday.

"...we are starting consultations between high-ranking officials of Ukraine and the United States on the possible parameters of a future peace agreement," Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, wrote on Telegram.

The announcement of talks comes as Ukraine and European allies scrambled to coordinate a response to the 28-point plan to end the war presented by the US this week.

US President Donald Trump told journalists he believed Thursday was an appropriate deadline for Kyiv to accept the plan.
