New York / Abu Dhabi / Kyiv | 25 November 2025
The Trump administration is pressing forward with a revised Ukraine peace framework after high-stakes U.S.–Ukraine talks in Geneva reshaped an earlier, controversial 28-point draft into a slimmer 19-point version—now being discussed with Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi, according to multiple media reports.
What’s being reported about Abu Dhabi
ABC News reported that U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll held undisclosed talks with a Russian delegation in Abu Dhabi following the Geneva discussions, and that a U.S. official said Ukraine had agreed to the revised deal “with minor details” still to be resolved. ABC also reported that Ukraine’s intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov was in Abu Dhabi meeting U.S. officials and might meet Russian officials as well, though Ukraine and Russia had not officially confirmed their delegations’ presence.
Reuters, citing its reporting on the same diplomatic push, said Ukraine is prepared to advance a U.S.-backed framework but that the most sensitive issues would require direct discussion between Presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump.
How the “28 points” became “19”
The Associated Press reported that U.S. and Ukrainian officials described the Geneva talks as productive but offered limited specifics publicly.
The Financial Times reported that the revised draft differed substantially from the earlier leaked plan, and that Ukraine’s deputy foreign minister Sergiy Kyslytsya said the most politically sensitive issues—such as territory and broader NATO-Russia questions—were left for the two presidents to decide. The FT also reported that contentious provisions (including a troop-cap and a blanket amnesty concept) were removed or reworked.
ABC separately reported that the revised plan no longer includes an amnesty-related point, while also citing sources briefed on the matter saying Ukraine agreed not to increase the size of its military—an example of how specific provisions are still being described differently across outlets and sources.
Where Russia stands—and Europe’s role
The Kremlin has repeatedly said it has not received official information about the outcome of the Geneva talks or an updated text, according to Reuters reporting.
Separately, Russian officials have criticized European counter-proposals; Reuters reported senior Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov called a European version “unconstructive” and unacceptable to Moscow.
Peskov has also been quoted saying that discussing a future security system without Europe would be impossible at some stage—reflecting a core tension: how any security guarantees would be structured, and who must be inside the room.
On the U.S. side, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said the U.S. has made “tremendous” progress and that many points have been agreed with Ukraine, while emphasizing the need for Russia’s eventual agreement.
TSGL Commentary (Neutral): Three tests that will decide whether this diplomacy holds
Legitimacy & inclusion: Any sustainable settlement likely depends on Ukraine’s domestic legitimacy and Europe’s security stake—especially if guarantees, monitoring, or postwar reconstruction are part of the package.
End-state clarity: The hardest “sensitive points” (territory, security alignments) appear deliberately deferred to leaders—useful for momentum, risky for implementation.
Battlefield pressure: Negotiations are advancing under continued strikes and military escalation, which can both force urgency and destabilize political space for compromise.

美方在阿布扎比推动新版“19点”俄乌和平框架：乌方称可推进，俄方称未收到正式文本；关键敏感议题留待两国总统拍板
记者：Winny Power｜Times Square Global Live（TSGL）
纽约 / 阿布扎比 / 基辅｜2025年11月25日
多家媒体报道显示，在美乌代表团于日内瓦进行高风险磋商后，美方正推动将此前饱受争议的**“28点和平计划”压缩并修订为新版“19点框架”，并在阿联酋阿布扎比**与俄方代表进行沟通讨论。这一外交推进被视为特朗普政府近期最关键的战争终结尝试之一。
阿布扎比会谈：已确认的与仍待核实的部分
ABC新闻称，美国陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔（Dan Driscoll）在阿布扎比与俄方代表进行非公开会晤，并引述美方官员称乌克兰对新版方案“基本同意”，尚余“少量细节”待处理。ABC还称，乌克兰军事情报局局长**基里尔·布达诺夫（Kyrylo Budanov）**也在阿布扎比与美方官员会面，并“可能”与俄方人员接触；但报道同时指出，乌俄双方并未正式公开确认其代表团在阿布扎比的行程与安排。
路透社在相关报道中指出，乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示乌方准备推进美方支持的框架，但最敏感的内容仍需与美国总统特朗普直接沟通并由最高层定夺。
“28点”变“19点”：修改幅度与争议焦点
美联社报道，美乌双方在日内瓦称会谈“取得进展”，但并未公开大量细节。
《金融时报》则报道，新版19点文本与此前泄露的28点版本“差异显著”。乌克兰副外长**谢尔盖·基斯利茨亚（Sergiy Kyslytsya）**对FT表示，最政治敏感的内容（例如领土安排、与北约/俄关系相关问题）留待两国总统决定；同时，原草案中部分争议条款（包括军队规模上限、普遍性赦免等构想）已被删除或重做。
ABC的描述强调，新版方案已取消“普遍赦免”相关条款，但同时又引述知情人士称“乌方同意不扩大军队规模”。这显示不同媒体对具体条款的细节描述仍存在差异，文本的最终措辞与执行安排仍处拉锯阶段。
俄方态度与欧洲角色：谈判“能否落地”的关键变量
路透社称，克里姆林宫表示尚未收到日内瓦会谈后的正式更新或新版框架文本。
与此同时，路透社还报道俄方否定欧洲版本的反建议；克里姆林宫高级助手**乌沙科夫（Yuri Ushakov）**称其“毫无建设性”、不适用于俄罗斯。
另据部分媒体引述佩斯科夫说法，未来安全架构“在某个阶段不可能绕开欧洲”。欧洲是否参与、如何参与，将直接影响任何安全保证或监督机制的可行性。
美方方面，白宫新闻秘书**莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）**表示美方已取得“重大进展”，并强调许多条款已与乌方达成一致，但最终仍需确保俄方同意。
TSGL中性评论：决定谈判成败的三道“硬门槛”
正当性与参与方结构：乌方国内政治承受度与欧洲安全利益难以回避，特别是在安全保证与监督执行层面。
终局安排的清晰度：领土与安全对齐等“敏感点”推迟到领导人层面，有利于短期推进，却可能在落地执行时引爆新争议。
战场压力与时间窗口：谈判在持续军事打击与升级背景下推进，既制造“必须谈”的紧迫感，也可能压缩各方妥协的政治空间。
