Washington, DC, November 24, 2025, BNN Web Staff : Representatives from the United States and Ukraine met in Geneva on Sunday to continue discussions on the American peace proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict. A joint statement released after the meeting described the dialogue as constructive and focused, reflecting a shared determination to work toward a durable and fair peace agreement.

According to the statement, both delegations found the consultations “highly productive,” noting that the talks helped narrow differences and outline clear steps forward.

The two sides emphasized that any final settlement must safeguard Ukraine’s sovereignty and establish conditions for a stable and enduring peace. As part of the latest round of talks, negotiators prepared an updated version of the proposed peace framework.

The Ukrainian delegation expressed deep appreciation for the United States’ consistent support and acknowledged President Donald Trump’s efforts to advance negotiations aimed at ending the war and preventing further casualties.

Both nations agreed to continue refining joint proposals in the coming days, while maintaining close coordination with European partners involved in the peace process. The final decisions under the framework will ultimately rest with the presidents of the United States and Ukraine.

The statement also reaffirmed their mutual commitment to achieving a peace deal that guarantees Ukraine’s long-term security, stability, and reconstruction.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio voiced optimism following the session, calling the talks “productive and meaningful,” as reported by CNN.

He told reporters that the 28-point peace plan introduced by President Trump continues to evolve as negotiators work to shape terms that could be acceptable to both Kyiv and Moscow.

Describing the proposal as “a living, breathing document,” Rubio said that while some issues remain unresolved, they are not impossible to overcome and simply require more time.
