Secretary Rubio, Special Envoy Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Secretary Driscoll met with the Ukrainian delegation in Geneva to discuss the latest draft agreements as part of ongoing peace talks. The discussions were described as open and focused on collaboration.
According to the readout, the Ukrainian side confirmed that their key issues—security guarantees, economic development, infrastructure protection, freedom of navigation, and political sovereignty—were addressed during the session. The delegation expressed appreciation for how their input was integrated into the proposed settlement framework.
Ukrainian representatives said: "Based on the revisions and clarifications presented today, they believe the current draft reflects their national interests and provides credible and enforceable mechanisms to safeguard Ukraine’s security in both the near and long term. They underscored that the strengthened security guarantee architecture, combined with commitments on non-aggression, energy stability, and reconstruction, meaningfully addresses their core strategic requirements."
Secretary Rubio's team reaffirmed American support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and security. "This work is driven by President Trump’s goal of ending a war that has taken the lives of millions of people and preventing further loss of life through a durable and enforceable peace," they stated.
Both parties acknowledged progress made in Geneva and agreed that ongoing cooperation will be important as negotiations continue toward a final agreement.
The meeting concluded with consensus that this represented a significant advance in efforts toward lasting peace.
