WASHINGTON DC, December 9th, 2025
The United States and Ukraine continue their formal discussions on the American peace proposal that has been under review since late November, and the official records now available from THE WHITE HOUSE and the PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE present a clear and orderly account of the negotiations. These documents describe steady diplomatic work, coordination with European governments, and Ukraine’s insistence that any agreement must amount to a dignified and secure peace. None of the primary evidence contains references to pressure, accelerated timelines, or demands for immediate acceptance.
The Joint Statement released by THE WHITE HOUSE confirms that representatives of the United States and Ukraine met in Geneva on November 23rd to examine the American proposal in detail. According to that statement, the discussions were constructive and centered on the pursuit of a just and lasting peace, including matters of sovereignty, long term security, and the reconstruction that will follow the war.
A separate first hand Readout from THE WHITE HOUSE reports that Ukraine’s delegation found many elements of the American draft compatible with its national interests. The readout explains that the framework includes security guarantees, economic plans for post war recovery, and long range stability measures. It also records that the proposal was viewed by the Ukrainian side as suitable for continued negotiation.
In his December 3rd public address, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukrainian officials met with envoys of President Trump in Geneva and Florida. He explained that the Ukrainian team raised questions concerning reconstruction, long term security guarantees, and the conditions required for a dignified peace. He also noted that the discussions with the American side continue across several levels of government.
President Zelensky’s address of December 4th added that Ukrainian representatives remained in the United States for further discussions with the American delegation. He stated that Ukraine is gathering full information regarding recent talks held in Moscow and is reviewing the peace framework in coordination with allied governments. He reaffirmed that any agreement must protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and long term security.
These negotiations expanded into Europe during the first full week of December. On December 8th, President Zelensky met in London with the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The official summary published by Ukraine records that the four governments reviewed the American peace proposal and discussed the steps required for a complete ceasefire. The summary also notes that the leaders agreed upon the importance of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and reliable defense support for Ukraine.
The following day, President Zelensky met in Brussels with senior European Union and NATO officials. According to the official account, he met with Ursula von der Leyen, Charles Michel, and Mark Rutte to examine the structure of the proposal and the security guarantees needed for future stability. The discussions also covered defense cooperation and the path toward Ukraine’s integration with the European Union.
Across all available first hand documents, the picture is consistent. The United States is engaged in formal peace negotiations with Ukraine. Ukraine is coordinating the process with its European partners. Security guarantees, sovereignty, economic reconstruction, and the terms of a stable ceasefire remain the central matters under examination. No primary evidence supports claims of pressure, deadlines, or demands for instant acceptance. The diplomatic work continues, and further meetings among the United States, Ukraine, and European leadership are expected.
