In Geneva, US and Ukraine officials report progress on ending Russia's war but offer few specifics [View all]
GENEVA (AP) Top U.S. and Ukrainian officials said Sunday theyd made progress toward ending the Russia-Ukraine war but provided scant details after discussing the American proposal to achieve peace that has sparked concerns among many of Washingtons European allies that the plan is too conciliatory to Moscow.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said high-stakes talks in Geneva were very worthwhile and constituted the most productive day in a very long time.
I feel very optimistic that we can get something done, Rubio said.
But he offered very little information on what was discussed. He also downplayed a Thursday deadline set by President Donald Trump for Ukraine to respond to the plan, saying simply that officials want to see fighting stop as soon as possible and that officials could keep negotiating Monday and beyond. He said that higher-level officials may eventually have to get involved.
