You all understand what that means.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finland&#8217;s President Alexander Stubb said there were still &#8220;major issues which remain to be resolved&#8221; regarding the U.S. peace proposal, though he also welcomed progress made during the high-stakes talks in Geneva.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio struck a more optimistic tone in describing the weekend talks, saying Sunday that the session in Geneval was &#8220;probably the most productive day we have had on this issue&#8221; since President Trump came back into office for his second term in January. \u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/24\/1a48ca33-77b4-4fd3-a9a6-ce7c1c5ec124\/thumbnail\/620x348\/8028ce22002d9d643db41a4b0c8ba691\/screenshot-2025-11-24-at-12-13-17.png#\" alt=\"screenshot-2025-11-24-at-12-13-17.png \" height=\"348\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/24\/1a48ca33-77b4-4fd3-a9a6-ce7c1c5ec124\/thumbnail\/620x348\/8028ce22002d9d643db41a4b0c8ba691\/screenshot-2025-11-24-at-12-13-17.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Ukrainian officials say four people died and 13 were injured in an overnight drone attack on Kharkiv.

He called the proposal a &#8220;living, breathing document&#8221; and said he believed the issues that remained unsettled were &#8220;not insurmountable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The White House said in a statement Sunday night that U.S. and Ukrainian officials &#8220;drafted an updated and refined peace framework&#8221; following their discussions, but Russia&#8217;s government said Monday that the revisions had not been shared, and that it would reserve judgement.<\/p>\n<p>Putin said Friday that the U.S. proposal could serve as the basis of a negotiated resolution to what his government has refused to acknowledge as a war, but he warned that if Ukraine turned down the plan, Russian forces would remain on the attack, seizing yet more ground.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are, of course, closely monitoring the media reports that have been pouring in from Geneva over the past few days,&#8221; Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday, &#8220;but we have not yet received anything official.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We read a statement that, following the discussions in Geneva, some amendments had been made to the text which we had seen earlier. We will wait. It seems that the dialogue is continuing,&#8221; he said, adding that there were no plans for a meeting this week between Russian and U.S. officials on the topic, but that Moscow remained open to dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-point plan, which U.S. officials said last week had Mr. Trump&#8217;s backing, sparked alarm among America&#8217;s European allies for being perceived as too favorable to Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine&#8217;s Ambassador to the U.S., Olga Stefanishyna, told CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan&#8221; on Sunday that her country had not agreed to all of the terms in the draft plan, which was leaked to media outlets last week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This plan is not about justice and the truth of this war and the aggression,&#8221; Stefanishyna said. &#8220;It&#8217;s about, you know, ending the war and stopping the military engagement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\"
