Overview
- U.S., Ukrainian and European delegations in Geneva cut an initial 28-point proposal to a 19-point framework designed to address Kyiv’s concerns.
- Ukraine’s national security chief said the sides agreed on the main provisions and that a White House meeting could take place this week to complete remaining steps.
- The revised draft raises a proposed peacetime cap on Ukraine’s armed forces to 800,000 and drops any blanket amnesty for actions during the war.
- Territorial questions and NATO–Russia issues are deferred for leaders to decide later, while U.S. envoys engaged Russian counterparts in talks in Abu Dhabi.
- European governments push back on proposals to use roughly €190 billion in frozen Russian assets, as Moscow’s responses range from appreciative to skeptical.
