Overview
- Delegations from the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and a primarily military Ukrainian team led by Andriy Yermak convened in Geneva to revise the proposal.
- The draft has drawn criticism for urging Kyiv to cede territory, cap its armed forces and renounce NATO membership, and President Donald Trump set a Thursday deadline while saying the plan is not a final offer.
- EU partners, Canada and Japan issued a joint statement rejecting any change of borders by force and warning that force limits would leave Ukraine vulnerable, calling the text a starting point that requires additional work.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff are expected at the talks as allies seek to strike any Donbas concession, drop a 600,000‑troop cap and shape credible security guarantees before a potential Zelensky–Trump meeting.
- A dispute over the plan’s origin continues after a Financial Times report suggested Russians delivered it to Witkoff, a claim denied by U.S. officials, and a separate U.S.–Russia discussion is being arranged outside Geneva.
