"There are some minor details to be sorted out but they have agreed to a peace deal."
An official told ABC that the "Ukrainians have agreed to the peace deal. There are some minor details to be sorted out but they have agreed to a peace deal." Those Monday meetings were in Abu Dhabi, though neither Ukraine nor Russia confirmed that their representatives were in the United Arab Emirates holding meetings.
In UAE for the US were Marco Rubio, Driscoll, and Steve Witkoff. On Monday night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered an address saying that the peace plan that emerged over the weekend would need more work.
Russia said that "they had not received any updates about what had been discussed in Geneva and what revisions had been made following the talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials," per ABC.
US Army spokesman Lt. Col. Jeffrey Tolbert said on Tuesday that "Late Monday and throughout Tuesday, Secretary Driscoll and team have been in discussions with the Russian delegation to achieve a lasting peace in Ukraine. The talks are going well and we remain optimistic. Secretary Driscoll is closely synchronized with the White House and the U.S. interagency as these talks progress."
The original proposal, a 28-point plan, has now been revised down to a 19-point plan, per ABC. That plan included provisions for Ukraine to cede some of the land Russia gained during the war as well as the shrinkage of Ukraine's Armed Forces.
That latter point, along with "a point on the issue of amnesty regarding acts committed during the war," has reportedly been removed from the plan.
European leaders have also had concerns about the loss of land for Ukraine, which they believe rewards Russia's aggression, and the limitations placed on the size of Ukraine's armed forces. Ukraine would also never be permitted to join NATO, under the plan.
