A U.S. official stated that Ukraine has agreed to a peace deal brokered by the Trump administration to halt Russia's nearly four-year invasion.
The agreement follows talks in Abu Dhabi involving U.S., Ukrainian, and Russian officials, though not all meeting simultaneously.
Ukraine's national security adviser, Rustem Umerov, expressed optimism about reaching a common understanding on core terms.
Details of the proposal remain undisclosed, with no immediate response from Russia.
U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll met with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi, while a Ukrainian delegation was also present and in contact with the U.S. team.
Over the weekend, discussions in Geneva involved U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others, alongside Ukrainian and European diplomats.
These talks refined a 28-point proposal, building on earlier understandings between Presidents Trump and Putin from their August meeting in Anchorage.
Umerov indicated that Ukraine supports the essence of the framework and anticipates further support from European partners.
A potential visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the U.S. in November could finalize the agreement, possibly at Mar-a-Lago.
The original plan included provisions such as Ukraine ceding the Donetsk region, including unoccupied parts, and halting its NATO aspirations.
It also proposed reducing Ukraine's army by 50 percent and offering U.S. security assurances similar to NATO's Article 5.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that Moscow appreciates the U.S. initiative but awaits an updated proposal reflecting Anchorage principles.
Zelenskyy described the situation as one of Ukraine's most difficult moments, facing a choice between losing dignity or a key partner.
Putin has signaled approval of the plan as a basis for settlement, while Trump has urged a deal by Thanksgiving, though the deadline is flexible.
A U.S. official observed that Russian advances in areas like Pokrovsk suggest Moscow's intent to control Donetsk through negotiation or force.
