US President Donald Trump has stated that the plan recently presented in Kyiv is not the final US proposal to Ukraine. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian delegation, led by Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, has arrived in Geneva for negotiations. The US side is represented by Special Envoy Steve Withhoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
The 28-point plan, first made public by Axios, has sparked controversy. Both Russian and American officials are reportedly involved in its development, but only Russian representative Kirill Dmitriev has commented publicly.
The plan includes Russia's maximalist demands such as territorial concessions and a reduced Ukrainian army, conditions repeatedly rejected by the US. Analysts stress the lack of real guarantees for Ukraine in the proposed agreement.
Despite talks, the US continues to support Ukraine with arms sales and coordination with allies. Other major topics include maintaining sanctions on Russian companies and debates about Western security guarantees for Ukraine.
Europe and the US are coordinating support, but conflicting political statements mean Western strategy remains uncertain. The upcoming Geneva talks are unlikely to yield a final decision, but will influence further diplomacy, Ukraine's internal situation and international security.
Key issues remain: the future security guarantees for Ukraine and continued development of its army. The immediate aim of talks is to prevent renewed escalation, retain global backing, and strengthen Ukraine’s defense.
