A push by the Trump administration to end Russia's war on Ukraine appears to make headway, with Kyiv saying Zelenskyy could visit D.C. within days to finalize a deal.

A U.S. official told NBC News that Ukraine "agreed to the peace deal” and was sorting out "minor details," though Kyiv hasn't publicly accepted any plan and the Kremlin said it was waiting to see any changes.

The first draft of President Trump's 28-point peace plan called for an investment scheme for Ukraine's reconstruction controlled by the U.S. but financed by $100 billion in frozen Russian assets matched by another $100 billion from the European Union.

Russia and Ukraine are fighting an increasingly intense energy war as they attempt to gain a meaningful advantage after months of stalemate on the frontlines and ahead of potential new peace talks.

The attack killed at least seven people in Kyiv, the authorities said, as Moscow suggested it would resist changes negotiated by Ukraine.
