THE US AND Ukraine sought on Monday to narrow the gaps in a peace plan to end the war with Russia after agreeing to modify a US proposal that Kyiv and its European allies saw as a Kremlin wish list.

Washington and Kyiv said in a joint statement 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.
