Ukraine's foreign minister Andrii Sibiha announced that Ukraine will sign a 20‑point peace framework with the United States, while Washington will conclude a separate agreement with Russia. The 20‑point document is currently bilateral and will be signed by the U.S. and Ukraine; the U.S. will also sign a separate treaty with Russia. The European Union will not sign the papers but its consent is required, and talks are still ongoing with the final wording possibly changing. Preliminary trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi between U.S., Ukraine and Russia were described as constructive, though no territorial settlement was reached. President Volodymyr Zelenski is prepared to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin. The negotiations focus on binding security guarantees rather than political statements and the prospect of Ukraine joining the EU in 2027 remains on the table.
