The United States and Ukraine hailed constructive talks in Geneva on Sunday, which yielded an “updated and refined” framework to potentially bring the war with Russia to an end.
The two countries said the discussions were “highly productive” and reaffirmed that any future agreement “must fully uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty and deliver a sustainable and just peace,” according to a joint statement released after the meeting.
Now nearly four years into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Donald Trump continues to put pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept his administration’s peace proposal, a 28-point plan, by Thanksgiving. The president recently stated that Zelenskyy can “continue to fight his little heart out” if terms are not reached.
The Ukrainians and their Western allies criticized the initial draft of the peace plan as a “capitulation” that essentially rewards the aggressor. A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers also voiced concerns that it acceded to Kremlin demands.
