Donald Trump is accelerating peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. “A few points left”
According to Trump, the original 28-point peace plan was modified after additional consultations with both sides. As he noted in his entry on the Truth Social platform, currently only a few issues remain to be agreed.
The president expressed hope for a meeting with the leaders of both countries, emphasizing, however, that it would only take place if the agreement was “final or in its final phase.”

These decisions are a response to recent negotiations conducted by US representatives in Geneva with the Ukrainian delegation and in Abu Dhabi with the representation of both sides of the conflict. Both Ukrainian and U.S. officials indicated that the talks had made significant progress in refining the peace plan.
Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, Rustem Umerov, emphasized that the remaining issues should be discussed directly by the presidents of the US and Ukraine. In turn, Andriy Yermak, head of Volodymyr Zelensky's cabinet, suggested that the meeting could be held in Florida, where Trump plans to spend Thanksgiving. However, the White House denied that such talks were currently planned.
Dan Driscoll, who visited Kiev last week, presented a modified peace plan there. His role as a negotiator unexpectedly gained importance, overshadowing the actions of both Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and special envoy for Ukraine, General Keith Kellogg. Driscoll, a personal friend of Vice President JD Vance, became a key figure in the talks.
In an interview with Axios, Yermak confirmed that the original US plan has been changed and now includes 19 points. He noted that the new proposals for security guarantees for Ukraine are “very solid.”

“This is a historic decision by President Trump and the United States,” he said, adding that these guarantees would be legally binding and enshrined in a formal treaty.
Russia approaches these changes with greater caution. Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, warned that removing the “spirit and letter of Anchorage” — a reference to an earlier meeting between Trump and Putin — could mean a “fundamentally different situation.”
