Ukraine agrees to peace proposal, only «minor details» remain to be agreed»
According to CBS News, the Ukrainian side agreed to the proposed peace plan, and only «minor details» remain to be agreed upon to finalise the document. The key provisions were reportedly agreed upon after a series of meetings in Geneva and Abu Dhabi, with US diplomats acting as mediators.
The TV channel's sources note that Kyiv agreed to the new version of the document after amending several controversial clauses that had previously caused objections from the Ukrainian side.
Russia's reaction: silence and no comment
CBS News notes that Russia has not yet provided an official response to the updated plan. Despite the Kremlin's statements about its «readiness for diplomacy», Moscow has not commented on any of the key points proposed by the US and agreed upon by Ukraine.
American diplomats call Russia's position «unpredictable» and stress that the lack of comment could be an attempt to buy time or strengthen their own negotiating leverage.
The role of the US and international mediators
CBS News notes that the administration Donald Trump has stepped up efforts to complete the deal. US negotiators are already at the stage of finalising the document together with Kyiv.
The agreement addresses issues of security, post-war reconstruction, future defence architecture, and mechanisms for guarantees from international partners.
Context: what preceded it
In recent days, several international publications have reported changes to the draft peace plan:
the clause on limiting the number of the Armed Forces was removed;
the provision on the use of $100bn of frozen Russian assets was removed;
The issue of amnesty no longer appears in the documents;
The formats of international security and partner participation were clarified.
Earlier, sources said that Ukraine and the US were making significant progress, while Russia regularly contradicted itself on its own position.
