US Advances 28-Point Ukraine Peace Plan in Geneva as Critics and Internal Divisions Mount

US Advances 28-Point Ukraine Peace Plan in Geneva as Critics and Internal Divisions Mount

Top US officials flew to Geneva on Sunday to press forward a Washington-backed, 28-point Ukraine peace proposal that has drawn criticism for appearing to favor Russian interests.

The talks in Geneva brought together European and Ukrainian leaders after an internal dispute in Washington over who authored the plan and how it was developed. The disagreement has sown confusion among allies and raised concerns about coordination within the US government.

“Foreign nations now have to deal with rival factions of the US government who keep major policy initiatives secret from each other… as the succession battle for 2028 begins,” one diplomat warned.

President Donald Trump has urged Kyiv to accept the proposal by Thanksgiving, increasing pressure on Ukrainian decision-makers. Columnist David Ignatius described Kyiv’s position as an “agonizing choice,” noting that the terms are still described by US officials as flexible while negotiations continue.

Delegations in Geneva aim to clarify the plan’s details and seek a path forward, but questions about authorship and internal US disagreements could complicate consensus-building. Ukrainian leaders face a high-stakes decision about whether to accept a deal that may end hostilities but could require difficult concessions.

What to watch next: how negotiators define key security guarantees, whether Kyiv secures clearer terms to preserve its sovereignty, and whether US domestic divisions affect the plan’s credibility with European partners.
