Kyiv said Tuesday that Ukrainian and U.S. delegations reached a “common understanding” on the main terms of a proposed U.S. plan intended to advance peace efforts in Ukraine, following talks held in Geneva.
In a statement posted on Facebook, National Defense and Security Council Secretary Rustem Umerov said Ukraine appreciated the “productive and constructive” meetings held Sunday between the US and Ukrainian delegations.
He also noted U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to help end the ongoing war.
“Our delegations reached a common understanding on the core terms of the agreement discussed in Geneva,” Umerov said, adding that Kyiv now expects support from its European partners as steps continue.
Umerov said Ukraine looks forward to arranging a visit by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the U.S. “at the earliest suitable date in November” to complete the final steps and reach an agreement with Trump.
Representatives from the US, Ukraine and European allies met Sunday in Geneva to discuss the proposal aimed at ending the more than three-and-a-half-year war.
Trump has said the U.S.-drafted plan is not his "final offer," following concerns raised in Kyiv and among allied capitals.
Zelenskyy said Monday that the plan, which initially included 28 points, now contains “fewer points” and “many of the right elements” after negotiations.
On the same day, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said the US is expected to reach out to Moscow “soon” to discuss the draft plan.
He noted that no concrete arrangements for such talks have been finalized.
Ushakov confirmed that Russia is aware of one version of the U.S. proposal, saying it aligns with understandings reached during a summit earlier this year between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
