Overview
- Delegations led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Andriy Yermak said Geneva talks produced an updated, refined framework that pledges full respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and a just, sustainable peace.
- Rubio called the remaining issues “not insurmountable” and signaled flexibility on the previously floated Nov. 27 timeline, after President Trump said the proposal was not his final offer.
- Kyiv and European partners continue to resist core elements of the original 28‑point draft—territorial recognition for occupied areas, limits on Ukraine’s military, and a NATO ban—with the E3 circulating alternative language.
- Zelensky said the revised text reflects most of Ukraine’s key priorities, as Trump publicly criticized Ukraine’s leadership for showing “zero gratitude” during the negotiations.
- Washington is preparing a separate meeting with a Russian delegation after Vladimir Putin said the U.S. proposal could serve as a basis for a final agreement, while disputes persist over the plan’s authorship and Russian input.
