The United States and Ukraine were set to continue work on Monday on a plan to end the war after agreeing to modify an earlier proposal that was widely seen as too favorable to Moscow.
The two sides said in a joint statement they had drafted a “refined peace framework” after talks in Geneva on Sunday, although they did not provide specifics.
The White House separately said the Ukrainian delegation had told them it “reflects their national interests” and “addresses their core strategic requirements,” although Kyiv did not issue a statement of its own.
It was not clear how the updated plan would handle a host of issues, including how to guarantee Ukraine’s security.
The United States and Ukraine said they would continue “intensive work” ahead of a Thursday deadline, although U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who led the American delegation during the talks, was flying back to Washington late on Sunday.
Trump previously set a Thursday deadline for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to accept a peace plan, but Rubio said on Sunday that deadline might not be set in stone.
Zelenskiy could travel to the United States as soon as this week to discuss the most sensitive aspects of the plan with Trump, according to sources familiar with the matter.
