On November 23, a livestream summarized the results and prospects of peace negotiations between Ukraine, the US, and Europe. In Geneva, the final stage of talks continues with Ukraine's delegation led by Andriy Yermak and US officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and General Driscoll. The so-called "Trump Plan" is being discussed, and participants note that its current version largely reflects Ukrainian priorities, though full details are not disclosed.
President Zelensky stated that the Ukrainian delegation is seeking workable solutions to end the war, restore peace, and guarantee lasting security. According to Zelensky, American proposals might accommodate critical elements for Ukraine, but the plan is still under discussion. Reuters reports that a final agreement is possible only after a personal meeting between Zelensky and Trump in Washington, with steps underway toward implementing a war freeze and creating a demilitarized zone.
Meanwhile, European countries are preparing their own proposals for settlement. Key demands include no restrictions for Ukraine's Armed Forces, return of major assets like the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and Kakhovka dam to Kyiv, and free navigation on the Dnipro River. Territorial disputes are to be addressed at later negotiation stages following a ceasefire.
The US is considering removing the cap on Ukraine's army size, providing NATO-style security guarantees, and using frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine. The phased lifting of sanctions against Russia may be tied to adherence to agreements.
Beyond procedural issues, the broadcast covered public sentiment, controversial aspects of US, European, and Russian involvement, and domestic Ukrainian politics. Viewers asked about upcoming elections, national priorities, reforms, and developments at the front. The author observed that any peace deal will inevitably involve concessions, with questions of territorial recovery and reparations still unresolved.
