Geneva Talks Produce Revised U.S. Ukraine Peace Draft as Europe Presses Changes and Trump Keeps Deadline Pressure

Overview

• U.S., Ukrainian and European officials met in Geneva and produced an updated draft that Ukrainian negotiators say now reflects many of Kyiv’s core priorities.
• European partners presented a counterproposal raising a troop cap to 800,000, tying any NATO bid to full alliance consensus, offering U.S.-style security guarantees, and tapping frozen Russian assets for compensation.
• U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the talks the most productive to date, described the text as a living document, and suggested some flexibility on the Nov. 27 timeline.
• President Donald Trump renewed public pressure on Kyiv and accused its leadership of showing “zero gratitude,” while saying the U.S. plan is not his final offer.
• President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly thanked the United States and Trump as his team led by Andrii Yermak continued talks, and Russia said the U.S. text could be a basis for peace even as it warned advances would continue if negotiations fail.
