The publication indicates that the US, Ukraine, Germany, France, and Great Britain will hold talks on Sunday in Geneva on a “new US peace plan.”
Diplomatic negotiations on the plan have been unfolding rapidly since its announcement. … The US team is expected to be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and will also include White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, who met with Zelenskyy on Thursday in Kyiv and presented him with the US plan.
– the article says.
According to the media’s interlocutors, Washington continues to “work with the Ukrainians to make this deal the best for them.”
We cannot speak for their position, but the deal is – and always has been – a collaboration between the US, the Ukrainians, and the Russians.
– the publication quotes an unnamed American official.
He added that the details of the agreement may change compared to the initial version of the US peace plan.
The publication also points to the presence in the draft agreement of a provision on security guarantees based on a principle similar to Article 5 of NATO, which means that an attack on Ukraine should be considered an attack on the entire “transatlantic community.”
