U.S. and Ukraine hold peace deal talks as lawmakers and allies voice concerns over Russian 'wish list'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has landed in Switzerland for meetings with Ukrainian and European leaders on Sunday.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said "a tremendous amount of progress" was made Sunday after a day of talks with Ukrainian and European officials in Switzerland, however the U.S. efforts to coordinate a Ukraine peace push were clouded by concerns over the origins of the proposal.

The 28-point plan suggests that Russia could be granted more territory than it holds, stipulates limits on Ukraine’s army, and prevents Kyiv from ever joining NATO — concessions that amount to a near-mirror of Moscow’s long-standing demands.

Rubio told reporters Sunday the talks in Geneva marked "probably the most productive day we have had on this issue."

"We arrived here today with one goal, and the goal was to take, you know what, 28 points, or 26 points, depending on which version as it continues to evolve, and try to narrow the ones that were open items," he said.

In a statement issued Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said an open dialogue with the U.S. and “signs that President Trump’s team is listening to us” are important.
