"It isn't just my personal view this has probably been the most productive and meaningful meeting we've had so far in this entire process since we became involved, Rubio said from Geneva on Sunday. From the start, we had a solid work product built on input from all relevant parties, and today we were able to go through many of those items point by point. I believe we made real progress."
"Rubio said he was making adjustments to the plan with a goal of further narrowing the differences and getting closer to an outcome that both Ukraine and the United States can be comfortable with. Of course, any final agreement will ultimately need to be approved by our presidents. But I feel confident about that happening, given the progress made so far, Rubio continued."
"Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) said Saturday that Rubio made it very clear to him and a bipartisan group of lawmakers that the plan was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation; it is not our peace plan. Rubio and the State Department denied that statement, insisting the plan was drafted by the U.S. with input from Russia and Ukraine."
The Geneva meeting on ending the Russia-Ukraine war was described as the most productive so far. The United States maintains the peace plan was drafted by the U.S. with input from Russia and Ukraine, while critics call it a Russian wish list and question its authorship. A claim circulated that the plan had been delivered to a U.S. representative and was not a U.S. recommendation; the State Department rejected that claim. Adjustments aim to narrow differences and move toward an outcome acceptable to Ukraine and the United States, with any final agreement requiring presidential approval. A deadline for Ukrainian acceptance was set but may be extended.
