Ukraine has agreed to a U.S.-brokered peace deal framework, marking a potential shift in efforts to end the Russia war.
Ukraine may be edging closer to a possible breakthrough in the nearly four-year war with Russia, following reports that Kyiv has accepted the framework of a U.S.-brokered peace deal.
Sources say Ukrainian officials agreed to an amended proposal during high-level talks with a U.S. delegation in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, November 25.
A Russian team was also in the UAE capital at the time, though it remains unclear whether both sides held joint meetings.
The first indication of progress surfaced after an unnamed U.S. official told ABC News that only “minor details” were left to iron out.
According to the source, “the Ukrainians have agreed to the peace deal,” signalling what could be a major shift after months of stalled negotiations.
A Ukrainian official, who also requested anonymity, confirmed to Reuters that Kyiv supports the “essence” of the proposed framework.
The official noted that the “most sensitive issues” would be taken up directly between President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Still, it is not yet clear where Moscow stands. The Kremlin has kept its cards close, refusing to confirm whether it has seen or accepted any revised version of the deal.
President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told Russian reporters that the government was “monitoring media reports” but had nothing official to share.
He acknowledged that negotiations between the U.S. and Ukraine are ongoing and that Russia expects to engage formally at a later stage.
“We understand adjustments are being made to the text we received unofficially,” Peskov said. “At some point, we will establish contact with the Americans and receive official information. For now, we have no new details.”
While the reported progress marks a rare moment of optimism, the success of any agreement will ultimately depend on whether all parties especially Moscow sign on to the final terms.
