Overview
- Ukrainian, U.S. and European officials began a new round of negotiations in Geneva on a leaked 28‑point U.S. draft for ending the war, according to Reuters.
- European partners circulated a revised text that rejects capping Ukraine’s forces and pre‑allocating territorial concessions, proposing any territorial discussions start from the current front line.
- A U.S. official said special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are in Geneva and that no agreement will be made until Presidents Trump and Zelensky meet in person.
- Zelensky reported that talks with the U.S. team were substantive and that there are signs the American side is hearing Ukraine’s position, with delegations continuing work into the night.
- On the ground, Ukraine’s General Staff reported 162 combat engagements the previous day and 177 by late Sunday, with 40–55 clashes on the Pokrovsk axis, while rescue services confirmed 33 dead in the Ternopil strike and Kharkiv authorities reported 16 drone hits with at least three fatalities.
