US EditionUkraine agrees to ‘core terms’ of US-led peace deal: Report
Ukraine accepted a narrowed US-led peace plan of about 19 points after talks in Geneva and Abu Dhabi, with only minor details left before formal presentation, officials said.
- Yesterday, a senior U.S. official told CBS News that Kyiv has agreed to a peace deal shaped through the Trump administration's diplomatic channel, with only minor details remaining.
- After criticism that the draft favoured Moscow, negotiators reduced the offer to 19 points from President Donald Trump's leaked 28-point plan, with US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner attending talks in Geneva last week.
- US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll met Russian officials in Abu Dhabi and was expected to meet Kyrylo Budanov, while Russia struck Kyiv killing six and Romania scrambled jets after drone intrusions.
- Officials say a Zelensky trip to the U.S. is being arranged to finalise remaining points, with the White House confirming an updated peace framework was drafted after Geneva talks.
- European allies drafted amendments that reject recognising Russian-held regions and preserve NATO options, Kremlin officials called the revisions 'completely unconstructive', and Emmanuel Macron, President of France, said `We want peace, but we don't want a peace that would be a capitulation`.
