"Key points in all the talks remain potential territorial concessions on the part of Ukraine, especially in the eastern Donbas region, where Russian forces occupy a significant amount of territory, the future size of the Ukrainian military and how Kyiv's allies can provide security guarantees to prevent another war. Witkoff said "a lot of progress was made" during Sunday's discussions."
