Overview
- US and Ukrainian delegations in Geneva were reported to have agreed most technical items of the 28-point plan, including force size, prisoner exchanges, and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
- Presidential aide Yury Ushakov said many provisions appear acceptable to Russia but noted that no specific negotiations with Russian representatives have taken place.
- Ushakov added that Moscow expects Washington to initiate face-to-face discussions and that Russia trusts only information received through direct US channels.
- Putin told President Erdoğan that the draft Moscow reviewed could, in principle, underpin a final settlement, and Erdoğan offered Istanbul to host potential talks.
- Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized inconsistent Ukrainian statements about the plan and said high-stakes issues were left for a Trump–Zelensky meeting, which reports say is not yet scheduled.
