Unresolved issues linger after Geneva peace talks, Finnish President Stubb says

"I welcome the progress made at yesterday’s meetings between the U.S. and Ukraine in Geneva," Stubb wrote. He described the negotiations as a step forward but said "major issues remain to be resolved."

Stubb emphasized that any decisions falling under EU or NATO competence will be discussed and made “in a separate track.”

The Geneva talks on the U.S. peace plan for Ukraine took place on Nov. 23, with Ukraine's delegation led by Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later called the U.S.-Ukraine negotiations in Switzerland "perhaps the most productive and meaningful" since the Trump administration engaged in the peace process, citing "tremendous amount of progress."

Overnight into Nov. 24, the delegations issued a joint statement on the talks' results, saying the sides prepared an updated framework document on peace settlement. Final decisions will be made by the presidents of Ukraine and the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump previously confirmed he wants Zelenskyy to agree to the peace plan by Thanksgiving on Nov. 27.

Reuters reported that the United States is threatening to halt intelligence and weapons supplies if Ukraine does not back the plan.

News agency RBC-Ukraine reported that Zelenskyy and Trump could meet as early as this week or next, though no exact date was discussed in Geneva.
