Washington, Kiev agree on Ukraine peace plan

Washington and Kiev have reportedly reached agreement on the most important elements of the United States of America’s proposed plan to end the ongoing war in Ukraine, officials said Tuesday.
A former defence minister and current secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council, Rustem Umerov, confirmed the development, noting progress in Geneva negotiations.
“Our delegations reached a common understanding on the core terms of the agreement discussed in Geneva,” Mr Umerov, a member of Ukraine’s negotiating team, said in a statement.
He added that Ukraine now counted on support from European partners in the next steps of the process and would continue consultations with allied nations.
Mr Umerov also announced plans to organise a visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the United States of America in November to finalise the deal with President Donald Trump.
U.S. media reported that senior American officials were currently in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, engaging with a Russian delegation to discuss details of the emerging peace plan.
U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll had been holding talks with Russian representatives since Monday, according to reports, seeking common ground to end hostilities that began February 24, 2022.
The United States of America initially proposed a 28-point plan aimed at ending the conflict, which originally reflected many of the Kremlin’s conditions for peace.
Since its release, the plan had undergone intensive renegotiation by European and Ukrainian diplomats to address concerns and ensured Ukrainian security and sovereignty provisions were included.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has described the original 28-point proposal as “the basis for a final peace settlement” but cautioned against significant concessions favouring Kiev.
