Delegations from the United States, Ukraine, and European countries convened in Geneva on Nov. 23 for discussions on a new U.S. proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, referred to as the "28-point" plan. The talks began with a meeting between Ukrainian representatives and national security advisers from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, followed by a separate session with the U.S. delegation.
Following the initial round of U.S.-Ukraine talks, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian Presidential Office Head Andrii Yermak held a joint press conference. Yermak described the discussions as "highly productive," noting significant progress and movement toward achieving a "just and lasting peace."
Secretary Rubio echoed this sentiment, calling the talks the "most fruitful and meaningful to date." He stated that the U.S. is reviewing suggestions from relevant parties and making adjustments to the proposal in an effort to narrow differences and develop an agreement satisfactory to both Ukraine and the United States.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented via social media, emphasizing that the Ukrainian delegation's work in Geneva focused on identifying viable solutions to end the conflict, restore peace, and secure long-term security guarantees. He suggested that the American proposal may incorporate many elements critical to Ukraine's national interests.
