Ukraine has reportedly agreed to the framework of a peace deal brokered by the U.S. in what could be a significant first step toward bringing the almost four-year war to an end.
Ukraine reportedly agreed to an amended peace deal during talks that U.S. officials held with a Ukrainian delegation in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. A Russian delegation was also in the UAE capital although it’s uncertain whether joint talks were held.
Reports of an agreement emerged when an unnamed U.S. official told ABC News that “minor details” still need to be resolved but 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,” the U.S. official told the news outlet.
A Ukrainian official told Reuters that Ukraine supports the “essence” of a peace deal framework following talks in Geneva last weekend. The official, who was not named, added that the “most sensitive issues” of the framework would be discussed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump.
