I would like to confirm that the first session with the participation of the distinguished American delegation was very fruitful. We have made very good progress and are moving towards a just and lasting peace. The Ukrainian people deserve and want this peace more than anyone else. We sincerely thank our great friends – the United States, personally President Donald Trump and his team – for their commitment to achieving peace. The second meeting will take place today, during which we will continue working on joint proposals with the participation of our European partners. The final decisions will be made by our presidents. Thank you!” Andriy Yermak wrote on the X website.

— We have a very good work result, which was based on the comments of all parties involved. We have now managed to discuss some of these issues, point by point. I think we have made significant progress. Our teams now went to their offices to work on some of the suggestions given to us, so we're working on making some changes in the hope that we will be able to further reduce the differences and come closer to a solution that will be satisfactory for both Ukraine and, of course, the United States, he said, quoted by the media.
Rubio also said there may be more details on the matter later. The US Secretary of State also emphasized that each plan requires Trump's acceptance and Russia presenting its position, but there are no concerns about it. “We think we've gained quite significant information over the last nine months on some of the issues that are really important to them,” he said.
