Media: Ukraine agrees to Trump's peace plan

A US official has said that Ukraine's government had "agreed to a peace deal" brokered by the Trump administration to stop Russia's nearly four-year assault, per CBS News.

The American official and Ukraine's national security adviser Rustem Umerov said a common understanding on a proposal had been reached, with details still to be worked out. 

"The Ukrainians have agreed to the peace deal," the U.S. official told CBS News. "There are some minor details to be sorted out but they have agreed to a peace deal."

A U.S. military official in Abu Dhabi told CBS News that the US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll spent hours negotiating on November 25 with Russian representatives, going in and out of meetings all day. 

"We remain very optimistic," the official said. "Secretary Driscoll is optimistic. Hopefully, we'll get feedback from the Russians soon. This is moving quick."

The developments follow a weekend of intense U.S.-Ukraine negotiations in Geneva (November 23–24) and parallel U.S.-Russia discussions in Abu Dhabi, signaling accelerated momentum toward a potential deal before the end of November.

The agreement caps a whirlwind week of diplomacy, driven by Trump's self-imposed Thanksgiving deadline (November 27) for progress on his Ukraine peace framework.

The original 28-point plan, approved by Trump on November 18, proposed freezing frontlines, Russian retention of annexed territories (Crimea, Donbas), Ukraine's permanent neutrality (no NATO), and military caps, in exchange for U.S.-led security guarantees and $50 billion in reconstruction aid.
