Overview
- After talks in Geneva, the United States and Ukraine said they produced an updated version of the 28‑point framework and jointly stated that any future agreement must fully respect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
- Washington describes the text as a negotiable framework rather than a final offer, and President Donald Trump has signaled flexibility on his earlier November 27 timeline.
- Ukrainian security chief Rustem Umerov said the current draft reflects most of Ukraine’s key priorities, and both Andriy Yermak and Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the discussions constructive with good progress.
- European advisers from France, Germany, the U.K. and Italy joined the talks to press for stronger deterrence guarantees, while making clear they are not prepared to deploy ground troops to Ukraine.
- Russia has praised the U.S. plan, core issues such as territorial recognition and NATO renunciation remain unresolved, and a Russian drone strike on Kharkiv overnight killed four people and injured 17 as fighting continues.
