Sunday Meeting

US and Ukrainian officials met in Geneva on Sunday to discuss a peace plan to end the war with Russia.

Context

President Trump proposed a 28-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine. The plan includes terms that would require Ukraine to relinquish territory, cut the size of its military, and drop efforts to join NATO. Ukrainian and European officials raised concerns that the plan favored Russia and was drafted without their input. Questions have emerged about who authored the plan, with confusion over whether it originated from the US or Russia, though the White House insists it was written by the US with input from both sides.

The Talks

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian officials held discussions in Geneva on Sunday. Rubio told reporters the talks were productive and that changes would be made to the plan to reach a solution both countries were comfortable with.
