American and Ukrainian negotiators say they've made some progress toward an agreement that would end the war in Ukraine.
Officials met on Sunday to discuss a U.S.
authored peace proposal.
A plan some European allies say leans too heavily toward Moscow.
NPR's Danielle Kurzleben reports the Trump administration called the talks productive,
but offered few specifics.
A joint statement released by the White House said that U.S.
and Ukraine officials met in Geneva, Switzerland.
Together, the two countries called the discussions, quote, constructive, focused, and respectful.
The 28-point plan was written without significant input from Ukraine or its European allies.
It calls for Ukraine to give up some territory to Russia,
shrink its military, and would block Ukraine from joining NATO.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the plan last week in a video address,
Saying his country faces a choice between losing its dignity or losing the U.S.
as a key international partner.
In response to a reporter's question,
Trump said this weekend that this plan is not his, quote, final offer to Ukraine.
