Ukraine and the United States reach a preliminary Peace Agreement with Russia
Ukraine and the United States have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement aimed at ending the four-year conflict with Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to travel to Washington, D.C., later this month to finalize the peace framework, Ukrainian national security adviser Rustem Umerov confirmed.
Umerov noted that negotiators “reached a shared understanding of the core principles” during discussions in Geneva. However, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that “a few sensitive but manageable issues” still need resolution through upcoming negotiations between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia.
Meanwhile, U.S. officials, led by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, continue diplomatic meetings with Russian envoys in Abu Dhabi.
Jeff Tolbert, spokesperson for Driscoll, said talks remain “productive,” adding that the U.S. delegation is working in coordination with the White House to push for “a sustainable peace” based on the Trump administration’s proposed 28-point roadmap.
The proposal includes major concessions for Ukraine — such as ceding territory, restricting military capacity, and abstaining from NATO membership — in return for security guarantees and financial support for reconstruction. Under the plan, Russia would avoid major penalties and receive post-war amnesty.
It remains unknown whether any elements of the deal have shifted during negotiations. President Donald Trump had previously urged all parties to reach an agreement by Thanksgiving.
