Overview
- Washington and Kyiv said talks in Geneva produced an updated framework for further negotiations, with both sides describing the session as highly productive and agreeing to keep working this week.
- The White House said the revised approach reflects Ukraine’s national interests, addresses its principal concerns, and upholds the requirement that any agreement fully protect Ukrainian sovereignty.
- Officials withheld specifics as negotiators continued to narrow differences on long-term security guarantees, NATO-related questions, and possible territorial arrangements.
- President Trump set a Thursday deadline for a response but Rubio signaled flexibility, while Trump publicly criticized Ukraine’s leadership for showing “zero gratitude.”
- European allies floated a counter‑proposal allowing a larger Ukrainian army and starting any land‑swap talks from current front lines, which Moscow rejected as unconstructive after previously welcoming the original U.S. draft.
