Revised Trump Peace Plan Emerges From Pivotal Geneva Talks
Updates to Donald Trump’s peace plan follow productive Geneva talks between U.S. and Ukrainian delegations, with progress noted and further coordination ahead.
During the November 23 talks in Geneva between the U.S. and Ukrainian delegations, 28 articles of the peace plan proposed by U. S. President Donald Trump were revised, according to sources cited by The New York Times. The outlet noted that the current working draft no longer matches the version that Ukrainian lawmaker had posted online on November 20.
Both sides involved in the discussions had earlier spoken of substantial progress. U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the Geneva meeting as the most productive and consequential session held so far.
Negotiators agreed to continue efforts aimed at resolving the conflict and to maintain regular coordination with the European Union. Additional consultations with EU representatives also took place in Geneva.
According to Rubio, the White House hopes to finalize the agreement soon-possibly by Thanksgiving on November 27. He indicated that a phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky could take place as part of the ongoing diplomatic process.
Rubio also stressed that Russia would have the opportunity to propose its own amendments to the draft peace plan. He said that, in line with the understanding reached with the Ukrainian side, the results of the Geneva talks would be forwarded to the Kremlin.
