Ukraine's frontline soldiers have reacted to draft US peace proposals with a mixture of defiance, anger and resignation.
The BBC spoke to half a dozen who sent us their views via social media and email in response to the original US plan – details of which were leaked last week.
Since then, American and Ukrainian negotiators have been working on changes to the proposals – and are set to continue talks about the "peace framework".
Of the original US plan, Yaroslav, in eastern Ukraine, says it "sucks… no one will support it" while an army medic with the call sign Shtutser dismissed it as an "absolutely disgraceful draft of a peace plan, unworthy of our attention".
But one soldier with the call sign Snake told us "it's time to agree at least on something".
This is what the soldiers who spoke to the BBC had to say about some of the key points in the original US draft peace plan.
