GENEVA (AP) — Top U.S. and Ukrainian officials say they’ve made progress toward ending the Russia-Ukraine war. They discussed an American proposal for peace, which some European allies fear is too favorable to Moscow on Sunday in Geneva. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the talks as productive, but shared few details on what was discussed. He emphasized that the U.S. peace plan is a “living document” and that it would change. He also said any final agreement would need Russia’s approval. President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine for lacking gratitude for U.S. military aid. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy expressed appreciation for U.S. efforts. The U.S. proposal has sparked concern in Kyiv and European capitals for conceding to Russian demands.
