DID Press: After four years of war, Ukraine has agreed in principle to the core elements of a U.S.–proposed peace plan. At the same time, President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced he is prepared to meet Donald Trump this week to finalize a potential agreement with Russia. A series of confidential talks in Geneva and Abu Dhabi indicates that Washington is working to bring all sides closer to its unified peace framework.
U.S. officials say the Ukrainian delegation in Geneva has accepted the main principles of a draft peace treaty proposed by Washington — a document aimed at ending a long, costly, and exhausting conflict for Europe and the international order. According to informed sources, the draft focuses on a set of broad principles, including the establishment of stable security lines, monitoring mechanisms, and the possible involvement of international actors to guarantee implementation.
The holding of a secret meeting in Abu Dhabi with Russian officials present shows that Washington has moved beyond one-sided consultations and entered a phase of direct mediation to narrow the gap between Moscow and Kyiv.
In continuation of this process, President Zelensky announced that he is fully prepared to meet Donald Trump on Thursday, 27 November, for direct talks on the final details of the peace agreement. If held, the meeting could accelerate decision-making, as the final choices on security guarantees and concessions can only be settled at the leadership level.
Despite these developments, some analysts argue that Ukraine’s initial approval of the draft plan is merely an early step, and its success ultimately depends on how acceptable it is to Russia. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that its security demands must be fully reflected in any final document.
Nevertheless, the alignment of the Geneva agreement in principle, the secret session in Abu Dhabi, and Zelensky’s readiness to meet Trump suggests that an outcome once seen as unlikely for months may now be within reach: a serious move toward a peace roadmap.
