U.S., Ukraine make progress on Trump's peace plan, officials say
"Catch up quick: Trump's 28-point peace plan would force Kyiv to give up additional territory in the east, agree it will never join NATO and accept full amnesty for Russians accused of war crimes. On the other hand, the plan includes an unprecedented security guarantee from the U.S. and Europe modeled on NATO's Article 5, which would commit allies to treat an attack on Ukraine as an attack on the entire "transatlantic community.""
"Driving the news: Secretary of State Rubio, White House Special Envoy Witkoff, Army Secretary Driscoll and Trump's son in law and adviser Jared Kushner have been meeting since Sunday morning with Ukraine's delegation at the U.S. mission in Geneva, a U.S. official directly involved in the talks said. Driscoll also met the Ukrainian delegation Saturday night, the U.S. official said. "These were positive and constructive talks", the official said."
"Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on his X account that his delegation in Geneva is focused on finding "doable solutions" to end the war. "Currently, there is an understanding that the American proposals may include a number of elements based on Ukrainian perspectives and critical for Ukrainian national interests. Further work is ongoing to make all elements truly effective," he wrote."
Trump's 28-point peace plan would require Ukraine to cede additional eastern territory, formally rule out NATO membership, and grant full amnesty to Russians accused of war crimes. The plan simultaneously offers an unprecedented U.S. and European security guarantee modeled on NATO's Article 5, treating attacks on Ukraine as attacks on the wider transatlantic community. Senior U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Rubio, Special Envoy Witkoff, Army Secretary Driscoll and adviser Jared Kushner, have held talks with the Ukrainian delegation in Geneva. Ukrainian leaders say proposals include Ukrainian priorities and work is ongoing to refine effective elements, while Trump criticized Ukrainian leadership publicly.
