Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says only a few details remain to be smoothed out for Kyiv to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan to end Russia's invasion. The agreement, which was drawn up last month by the U.S. special envoy and Putin's foreign policy advisor, heavily-favored Russia. Now the plan has been altered to include input from Ukraine and Europe — but will Russia agree to any of it?

Olga Stefanishyna, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., joined Morning Edition host A Martinez to discuss her role in the negotiations and whether the plan will ultimately lead to lasting peace in her country.
