The US and Ukraine unveiled a revised peace framework following high-level Geneva talks aimed at ending the nearly four-year war with Russia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called them "probably the best" talks of Trump's presidency, expressing optimism about reaching an agreement. The updated plan addresses concerns that the original 28-point US blueprint was too favorable to Moscow. Key unresolved issues include Ukraine's security guarantees, NATO's role, and territorial considerations. European officials proposed modifications allowing Ukraine to maintain larger military forces and negotiate land swaps from current frontlines. While Rubio downplayed Trump's Thursday deadline, details remain unclear. Neither side shared specifics, though the White House confirmed strengthened security guarantees reflecting Ukrainian national interests.
