Zelenskyy advised to avoid rushing to discuss U.S.-backed peace plan with Trump—report

They warned that a face-to-face encounter could spark another conflict with Trump and jeopardize the gains achieved during the Nov. 23 U.S.–Ukraine talks in Geneva.

It remains unclear whether Trump wants Zelenskyy to sign the amended 19-point peace agreement discussed in Geneva, the report said. The White House must now decide when and how to present the new draft to Moscow.

Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia had received no official information following the Geneva talks between Ukrainian and U.S. delegations.

On Nov. 23, U.S. and Ukrainian officials met to discuss the U.S.-backed peace plan that initially heavily favored Russia. In a joint statement, both sides said they had produced an updated framework document for a political settlement. While both delegations ended up pleased with the amended draft, the most contentious points (territorial concessions and Kyiv’s relationship with NATO) were left for presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to resolve later.

Trump has previously said he wants Zelenskyy to agree to the proposal by Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 27).
