Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said talks with the U.S. about a peace plan were continuing following a report suggesting that Kyiv agreed to the terms of a potential deal to end Russia’s full-scale invasion.

“Communication with the American side continues,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X following a phone call with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday. “I am grateful for all of America’s efforts and personally for President Trump’s efforts.”

ABC News reported on Tuesday, citing a U.S. official, that Ukraine agreed to a potential peace deal with some minor details to be sorted out. Speculation is running high that an agreement could be close after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested in a social media post on Monday that “big progress” was being made on a deal for Ukraine.

U.S. and Russian delegations are meeting in Abu Dhabi following talks in Geneve over the weekend that made advances in defusing the vehement opposition from Kyiv and its European allies to a 28-point peace proposal the White House team floated last week.
