A U.S. official reported that Ukraine has consented to a peace agreement aimed at concluding the conflict with Russia.

The official noted that a few minor aspects of the pact still require resolution.

Lt. Col. Jeff Tolbert, spokesperson for U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, previously disclosed that Secretary Driscoll and his delegation engaged in discussions with Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi on Monday and Tuesday, focusing on the framework for an agreement.

Tolbert stated, “The negotiations are progressing favorably, and our optimism persists. Secretary Driscoll maintains close alignment with the White House and the broader U.S. interagency as these discussions unfold.”

A U.S. official informed that the Ukrainian delegation was also present in Abu Dhabi and was communicating with Driscoll and his group.

This surge of diplomatic activity over the weekend occurred after the leak of a 28-point peace proposal, which many European leaders and U.S. lawmakers largely considered to be advantageous to Russia.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) characterized a previous proposal by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff as a “surrender document for Ukraine that would have rendered it vulnerable to Russia for decades.”

He asserted that the most recent iteration, formulated with the participation of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and contributions from Ukrainian and European officials, represented an improved strategy.

Bacon emphasized, “We must uphold freedom and the rule of law.”

Ukraine’s assent to the agreement followed an overnight Russian offensive that resulted in at least six fatalities and 13 injuries.

These attacks on residential structures and civilian facilities coincided with meetings between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Geneva over the weekend, where they discussed the 28-point peace initiative promoted by the Trump administration to conclude the nearly four-year conflict.

Rustem Umerov, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, referred to the Geneva discussions when discussing his nation’s acceptance of significant elements of a peace proposal.

Umerov posted on X, “We value the fruitful and constructive sessions held in Geneva between the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations, along with President Trump’s persistent endeavors to bring an end to the war. Our delegations achieved a shared comprehension regarding the fundamental conditions of the agreement deliberated in Geneva. We now anticipate the backing of our European counterparts in our subsequent actions.”

Umerov further stated that his nation anticipates a visit by Zelenskyy to the U.S. “at the earliest opportune moment” to “finalize the remaining stages and conclude an agreement with President Trump.”
