The peace plan was discussed in Geneva. The White House comments
During the talks in Geneva between the United States and Ukraine, there were some modifications to the original peace plan proposal. — For now, after [rozmowach w] Geneva, there are fewer points, there are no longer 28, and many relevant elements have been included in this framework, said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
The spokeswoman assured that the administration takes a positive view of what happened on Sunday in Geneva, where talks on the 28-point peace plan for Ukraine were held. She noted that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff and “the entire team worked on the points of this plan, which the United States developed with the participation of both sides, Russians and Ukrainians.” — The revised plan will have to be presented to the Russians again, said Karoline Leavitt.
— We feel that we are in a very good situation. The president deserves enormous praise for the energy and effort he put into trying to bring both sides to an end to this war. He wants the killing to end, stressed Donald Trump's spokeswoman.
She stated that “Trump put a lot of pressure on both leaders” – Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky – and added that “the US president wants the deal to be concluded as soon as possible.”
– Any suggestion to the contrary [porozumieniu pokojowemu] is a complete misunderstanding of the facts. It comes from people who have no idea what they are talking about or from those who pursue their own interests. Or maybe from those who don't want this war to end. I don't know, maybe they're profiting from it or in some way, but no one in this building is profiting from the war. We want this war to end, and that's exactly what the president and his team are proud to do, said a White House official.
She referred critics of excessive concessions to Russia to the Ukrainians' Sunday attitude. — I would like to draw the critics' attention to yesterday's words of Ukrainians, who said they were very positive about this plan. They were very committed. They had a direct impact on the content of this plan and we are in direct contact with them, Leavitt said. She said that for now, there is no scheduled meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the near future. “But, as you know, things can change very quickly, so we will keep you updated,” she added.
