Ukraine has reportedly agreed to the framework of a U.S.-brokered peace deal, marking what could be a significant first step toward ending the nearly four-year war with Russia.
According to reports, Kyiv accepted an amended version of the proposal during talks between U.S. officials and a Ukrainian delegation in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, November 25. A Russian delegation was also in the UAE capital, though it remains unclear whether any joint discussions took place.
Speculation about an agreement intensified after an unnamed U.S. official told ABC News that only “minor details” were left to finalize. “There are some minor details to be sorted out, but they have agreed to a peace deal,” the official said.
A Ukrainian official similarly told Reuters that Ukraine supports the “essence” of a peace framework following separate talks held in Geneva last weekend. The official, who asked not to be named, noted that the “most sensitive issues” would need to be addressed directly by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump.
It remains uncertain whether Moscow will accept any revised version of the deal. The Kremlin has yet to publicly comment on the Abu Dhabi discussions. Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that they currently “have nothing to say” but are “monitoring media reports.”
“We understand that negotiations between the Americans and the Ukrainians are ongoing,” Peskov said. “We understand that some adjustments are being made to the text that was published; we understand that the text we unofficially received earlier has already undergone changes. At some point, the time will probably come when we will also establish contacts with the Americans and officially receive some information. For now, we have no new information.”
