Overview
- Ukrainian, U.S. and European delegations opened talks in Geneva on the 28-point memorandum, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, envoy Steve Witkoff and Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll joining a Ukrainian team led by Andrii Yermak.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the draft as presented and says Ukraine will table alternatives after initial meetings.
- Washington describes the text as a U.S.-authored negotiation framework, a claim disputed by several senators who called it a Russian wish list and denied by the State Department and Rubio.
- President Donald Trump says the plan is not a “last offer” after setting an initial Nov. 27 response date and on Sunday accused Ukraine of showing “no gratitude” for U.S. support.
- European leaders seek a central role and warn clauses on territorial recognition, military limits, NATO exclusion and reported U.S.-led reconstruction terms conflict with EU security and sanctions plans.
