Yesterday, crucial negotiations took place in Geneva between Ukrainian and US delegations on a 28-point 'peace plan', reportedly drafted by the Russian side. Following pressure from Ukraine and European partners, the plan was revised. American officials, especially those close to Donald Trump, criticized the initial proposal as a betrayal of both Ukrainian and US interests.
The delegations discussed the size of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant, POW exchanges, and the return of convicted persons. Issues regarding Ukraine’s territorial integrity and NATO status were postponed for future talks between Presidents Zelensky and Trump. Ukraine insists territorial matters can only be discussed after a ceasefire.
US media reported that Trump approved the plan without reviewing its details, raising concerns about the effectiveness of American foreign policy. Potential US and NATO security guarantees were also discussed but remain controversial and subject to change.
Meanwhile, fighting continues in Ukraine, and the front-line situation is described as challenging. Ukrainian forces call for support and underline the need for army management reforms and a stronger international position. Analysts warn the war may be protracted, and any agreements without Russia’s consent may be ineffective.
The US and European partners are maintaining dialogue, but Ukrainian society urges active reforms and preparation for a potentially long conflict. Securing international aid and stabilizing political and military conditions remain urgent priorities.
Volunteer support has enabled delivery of new drones to eastern cities for defense. Ukrainian military personnel call for ongoing public support.
