Ukraine-Russia war latest: Kyiv supports ‘essence’ of peace agreement but Zelensky and Trump to discuss ‘sensitive points’
Ukraine says that it supports the “essence” of a peace agreement after intense negotiations between US and Ukrainian officials in Geneva.
A Ukrainian official said the most sensitive issues of the agreement would need to be discussed by Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky, after a US official claimed that Kyiv had accepted the terms of an agreement.
It came after a US official said Kyiv had “agreed to a peace deal” to stop Russia’s four-year invasion with only “minor details” still to be worked out, CBS News reported. Moscow did not immediately comment on the reports.
Ukraine’s national security adviser Rustem Umerov earlier said it had reached a “reached a common understanding” with the White House over a deal to end the war.
Umerov said that Zelensky is likely to visit the US in the next few days to finalise a deal with President Donald Trump to end Ukraine’s war with Russia.
Zelensky on Monday welcomed amendments to Trump’s 28-point peace plan following meetings in Geneva.
