US and Ukrainian officials sought on Monday to narrow the gaps between them over a plan to end the war in Ukraine, after agreeing to modify a US proposal that Kyiv and its European allies saw as a Kremlin wish list.

In a joint statement, Washington and Kyiv said they had drafted a “refined peace framework’ after talks in Geneva on Sunday. Though there were no specifics, the dialogue received a cautious welcome from some of Ukraine's allies. Ukraine's delegation to the talks with US officials in Switzerland was returning home on Monday to report back, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

US President Donald Trump hinted at new progress.

“Is it really possible that big progress is being made in Peace Talks between Russia and Ukraine??? Don't believe it until you see it, but something good just may be happening,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
