"US and Russian officials have held talks to fine tune a peace plan to end Moscow's war with Ukraine as Washington intensifies pressure on both sides to clinch a deal to end Europe's largest and bloodiest conflict since World War II. US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll met with a Russian delegation in Abu Dhabi on November 25, according to a US Army spokesman,"
"The initial US-proposed 28-point peace deal was seen by many as heavily favorable to Moscow. Ukrainian officials flew to Geneva over the weekend to meet with US representatives, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to try and hammer out a draft that would require fewer concessions from Ukraine and not result in what some in Kyiv saw as near capitulation ."
"The talks came as Russia again battered Kyiv, killing at least six people in air strikes that also wounded at least 13 others. "Late Monday (November 24) and throughout Tuesday, Secretary Driscoll and team have been in discussions with the Russian delegation to achieve a lasting peace in Ukraine. The talks are going well and we remain optimistic. Secretary Driscoll is closely synchronized with the White House...as these talks progress," said US Army Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Tolbert, a spokesperson for Driscoll."
US and Russian officials met in Abu Dhabi as Washington increased pressure to finalize a peace plan aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll met with a Russian delegation on November 25, and Ukrainian officials also traveled to Abu Dhabi for related talks. An initial 28-point US proposal was criticized as favoring Moscow, and subsequent Geneva negotiations reduced the draft to 19 points while leaving sensitive issues, including security guarantees for Kyiv, unresolved. Russia continued to strike Kyiv, killing and wounding civilians. US officials said the discussions are progressing and remain coordinated with the White House.
