US and Ukrainian officials agreed on next steps but key issues like territory and security guarantees remain unresolved, with progress dependent on Russia's commitment to peace, officials said.

  • Washington's initial plan evolved after envoys' visits, with a first draft envisaging Ukraine ceding territory for limited security promises, but parts were rejected after Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner's Dec 2 Moscow meetings.

  • With 19.2% under Russian control, talks addressed post-war reconstruction and economic initiatives to enable Ukraine's redevelopment and deter renewed aggression.
