"With the US delegation led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the main talks between US and Ukrainian officials got under way in Geneva on Sunday afternoon in a stiff atmosphere at the US mission, soon after Trump complained in a Truth Social post that Ukraine's leadership had shown "zero gratitude" to the US for its efforts and Europe continued to buy Russian oil."
"Talks in Geneva are continuing. On Friday, Trump said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had until Thursday to approve the plan, which calls on Ukraine to cede territory, accept limits on its military and renounce ambitions to join NATO. For many Ukrainians, including soldiers fighting on the front lines, such terms would amount to capitulation after nearly four years of fighting in Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two."
The US-backed plan requires Ukraine to cede territory, accept limits on its military, and renounce ambitions to join NATO. President Trump has championed the 28-point proposal and set a Thursday deadline for Ukrainian approval, while saying the current proposal may not be final. Secretary of State Marco Rubio led US talks with a Ukrainian delegation in Geneva and described progress, though European leaders said they had not been consulted. US weapons continue to flow to Kyiv via NATO, European countries continue buying Russian oil, and many Ukrainians view the plan’s terms as tantamount to capitulation after nearly four years of war.
