Trump Pushes Contested Ukraine Peace Outline as U.S.–Ukraine Talks Open in Switzerland

The State Department says the 28-point document was drafted by the United States despite complaints that it mirrors Russian demands.

Overview

  • U.S. and Ukrainian officials met in Geneva as the administration now calls the 28-point plan a framework for negotiations.
  • Trump said his proposal is not a final offer and urged Kyiv to accept it by Thursday, while accusing Ukrainian leaders of showing no gratitude for U.S. support.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the plan and said he would present alternative proposals to Washington.
  • Critics in Kyiv and in the U.S. Senate argue reported provisions—territorial concessions, limits on Ukraine’s forces, and a pledge to forgo NATO—would reward Russian aggression.
  • Reporting ties an October meeting in Miami, which included sanctioned Russian financier Kirill Dmitriev under a U.S. waiver, to the draft, and Reuters has reported Ukraine was warned aid could be curbed if it refused.
