Overview
- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed a November 23 meeting in Geneva bringing together U.S., Ukrainian and European national security advisers.
- CNN says Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Whitkoff will attend, as reports describe a U.S. proposal trading territorial concessions for security guarantees and limits on Ukraine’s forces and foreign troop presence.
- The European Commission and EU leaders welcomed the draft as a basis for talks but rejected changes to borders by force and want alterations on territory, security guarantees, Ukraine’s force levels and the use of frozen Russian assets.
- Reuters and CNN report Washington intends to meet Russian representatives soon to discuss the plan, though no Russia–U.S. talks are slated in Geneva.
- Ukraine named a delegation led by Andriy Yermak, with Rustem Umerov and Kyrylo Budanov, while Bloomberg reports Kyiv and EU capitals are pressing to adjust the text before President Trump’s November 27 target date, which The Guardian says U.S. officials have linked to warnings of tougher terms if acceptance slips.
