00:00Ukraine and the U.S. have put together a peace framework and plan to keep discussions going to end the war with Russia, just ahead of a Thursday deadline.
00:10A joint statement says discussions in Geneva on the U.S.-backed plan were highly productive, although no details were released.
00:18The two countries had agreed to modify a previous proposal that Kiev and Europe felt gave too much to Moscow.
00:25Positive reports from the Geneva meeting came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian leadership for showing zero gratitude for Washington's efforts to end the war.
00:38The draft 28-point plan has not been published in full, but reports suggest it could see Ukraine withdrawing troops from parts of eastern Donetsk it still controls.
00:49Ukraine might also cut its military from 880,000 to 600,000 personnel and agree not to pursue NATO membership in exchange for security guarantees.
01:02Meanwhile, the plan envisions Russia being reintegrated into the global economy, sanctions lifted, and an invitation to rejoin the G7, restoring it to the G8.
01:14And I think there's a possibility that something could come out of it.
