'The Ukrainians Haven't Said Anything Concrete About What Has Been Changed in the Plan'

On Sunday in Geneva, Europeans submitted a modified version of the US-sponsored peace plan, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff attending talks at the U.S. Mission.
Amid camera crews and convoys in Geneva, the Ukrainian delegation worked to keep the Americans on side, reflecting Kyiv's priority and the intense, fast-paced talks described by John Sparks, international correspondent.
The European draft raises key terms including Kyiv's military cap at 800,000 in peacetime versus the US-backed 600 and starts territorial talks from the Line of Contact, reportedly drafted by the European E3 powers.
Any agreement must still be presented to Russia, so approval remains uncertain, while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signalled that President Donald Trump's team is hearing Kyiv after numerous meetings, with proposals including a US-style security guarantee akin to NATO's Article 5.
Despite rapid progress over the past 96 hours, President Vladimir Putin has shown little inclination to stop the conflict, complicating prospects for settlement.
