Hey fam! On Sunday (Nov 23, 2025), teams from the U.S. and Ukraine wrapped up the latest round of talks in Geneva about a 28-point plan to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. And guess what? They’re calling it their “most productive and meaningful” session yet 🤝.
After meeting with advisers from the UK, France & Germany, the Ukrainian delegation sat down with the U.S. crew to hash out details. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Andriy Yermak (head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office) both told reporters they’ve made “good progress,” but some key points still need tweaking. They’re now reviewing fresh suggestions and narrowing differences one by one 💬.
Both sides are optimistic—Rubio even said the remaining gaps are about wording or who plays what role (think EU or NATO guarantees). Yermak added that progress is “very good” and that a just, lasting peace is within reach 🌟. But remember, final approval has to come from their presidents, so more rounds of talks are on the way.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy chimed in online, stressing that any steps must be practical and effective. Meanwhile, Russia hasn’t publicly reacted yet, though President Putin recently called the 28-point plan a possible starting point for peace.
Experts aren’t all starry-eyed, though. Diao Daming, a professor at the School of International Studies of Renmin University of China, warns that big power interests could still derail the plan. The U.S. push for a ceasefire aligns with its own goals, and Europe and Russia have their own agendas—so implementation won’t be a walk in the park 🌍.
Bottom line: Geneva talks are moving forward, but it’s not over till it’s over. Stay tuned for more updates as negotiators keep working to turn those 28 points into real peace✌️.
