Ukrainian officials say the US‑drafted 28‑point peace plan, now trimmed to 19, was largely acceptable, but key security guarantees and territorial issues remain in dispute as talks in Geneva continued on Tuesday.
Leaked Details: Ukraine Expected to Agree
Christopher Miller of the Financial Times reported that the latest US‑brokered draft is less favorable to Moscow, leaving security guarantees and territorial questions for Trump and Zelensky to resolve. Ukrainian senior officials said the deal included issues on territorial integrity and U.S. security guarantees, and that Kyiv had agreed to limit its armed forces to 800,000 soldiers.
Original 28‑Point US Peace Plan
The original proposal called for U.S. security guarantees, a reduction of Ukraine’s army to 600,000 troops, loss of Russian‑occupied territories, and the closure of a direct path to NATO. It also envisaged European fighters stationed in Poland, financial compensation to Kyiv, and the freezing of Russian assets until the payment.
Negotiated Adjustments: Plan Truncated to 19 Points
During Sunday’s Geneva talks, the plan was narrowed to 19 points. Some items were removed and others modified. President’s office adviser Aleksander Bevz said no Ukrainian concern was left unaddressed in the revisions.
President Zelensky’s Commentary on Geneva Talks
In a Monday evening address, President Volodymyr Zelensky explained that after Geneva the number of points had been reduced from 28, many key matters had been covered, but further collaboration remains necessary. He noted the difficulty in finalising a document and thanked the international community for its constructive support.
