#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . The United States and Ukraine praised the opening round of peace consultations in Geneva as “productive” and said they were encouraged by the pace of progress in a joint statement on Nov. 23.
The two sides said they had drafted an “updated and refined peace framework” after the initial 28-point peace plan pushed by the Trump administration was met with backlash over conditions that heavily favored Russia.
“The talks were constructive, focused, and respectful, underscoring the shared commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace,” the statement read, adding that any future ceasefire proposal would need to “fully uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty.”
The joint announcement also noted that Ukraine “reaffirmed its gratitude for the steadfast commitment of the United States and, personally, President Donald J. Trump” and that both sides would “continue intensive work on joint proposals in the coming days.”
