Overview
- Washington and Kyiv said their Geneva meetings produced an updated, refined framework, with intensive work to continue in the coming days.
- Ukrainian officials described a substantially reworked text, reported by some as a 19-point draft, and Volodymyr Zelensky said he will raise the most delicate points directly with President Trump.
- European allies advanced a sovereignty-first counterproposal that preserves a path to NATO and leaves Ukraine’s force decisions to Kyiv, which the Kremlin dismissed as completely unconstructive.
- The White House cited only a couple of remaining disagreements and a sense of urgency, while an anonymous AFP source said the U.S. pressed Ukraine to accept the plan, a characterization the administration rejects.
- Hostilities continued during the diplomacy, with Russian drone strikes igniting fires in Kyiv and injuring residents.
