US, Ukraine reportedly agree on updated peace plan in Geneva

The United States and Ukraine agreed on an updated and revised peace plan that U.S. President Donald Trump had proposed during a meeting in Geneva on Nov. 23, the Ukraine’s presidential office reported.

Trump had initially set a Nov. 27 deadline for Ukraine to respond to the original 28-point plan that was hammered out between U.S. and Russian officials without Ukraine’s presence. 

“The talks were constructive, focused, and respectful, underscoring the shared commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace,” the statement said.

Both sides described the consultations as highly productive, noting that the discussions demonstrated “meaningful progress toward aligning positions and identifying clear next steps.”

“They reaffirmed that any future agreement must fully uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty and deliver a sustainable and just peace,” the statement said.

The two countries agreed to continue intensive work on joint proposals in the coming days. Kyiv and Washington will also maintain close contact with European partners.

“Final decisions under this framework will be made by the Presidents of Ukraine and the United States,” the statement said without providing additional details.

According to RBC-Ukraine, citing sources, the Geneva talks allowed the delegations to agree on most of the U.S. plan’s provisions and adjust a significant portion of the disputed points. These include issues related to the size of the Ukrainian armed forces, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the format for prisoner exchanges, and the return of convicted individuals.

However, points concerning territorial matters and the constitutional prohibition of Ukraine joining NATO were set aside for discussion and agreement at the presidential level between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Trump.

A meeting between the Ukrainian and U.S. leaders could take place as early as this week or next, though no specific date was confirmed in Geneva, journalists said.

Earlier, the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) firmly rejected the original version plan. The initial proposal reflected maximalist Kremlin demands and pressured Ukraine to cede territory and surrender its sovereignty.

As UWC President Paul Grod said, “Peace cannot be imposed at the expense of justice. Any credible plan must begin with the full restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and robust security guarantees. Peace will never be achieved through captivity.”
