Washington woke up this morning to a flurry of developments on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

It was the middle of the night in DC when a tweet dropped from Ukraine’s national security advisor, Rustem Umerov.<\/p>\n

He said that the US and Ukraine<\/a> had reached a “common understanding on the core terms of the agreement discussed in Geneva.”<\/p>\n

He added that Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a> would travel to America “at the earliest suitable date in November to complete final steps and make a deal with President Trump”.<\/p>\n

By sunrise in Washington, a US official was using similar but not identical language to frame progress.<\/p>\n

The official, speaking anonymously to US media, said that Ukraine had “agreed” to Trump’s peace proposal “with some minor details to be worked out”.<\/p>\n

In parallel, it’s emerged that talks have been taking place in Abu Dhabi. The Americans claim to have met both Russian and Ukrainian officials there, though the Russians have not confirmed attendance.<\/p>\n

Peace deal ‘agreement’: What we know<\/p>\n

“I have nothing to say. We are following the media reports,” Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, told Russian state media.<\/p>\n

Trump<\/a> is due to travel to his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago tonight, where he will remain until Sunday.<\/p>\n

He set a deadline of Thursday<\/a> – Thanksgiving – for some sort of agreement on his plan.<\/p>\n

We know the plan has been changed from its original form, but it’s clear that Zelenskyy wants to be seen to agree to something quickly – that would go down well with President Trump.<\/p>\n

My sense is that Zelenskyy will try to get to Mar-a-Lago as soon as he can. Before Thursday would be a push but would meet Trump’s deadline.<\/p>\n

It will then be left for the Russians to state their position on the revised document.<\/p>\n

All indications are that they will reject it. But maybe the secret Abu Dhabi talks will yield something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washington woke up this morning to a flurry of developments on Ukraine.
