The White House on Tuesday touted new progress in the U.S.-brokered peace proposal between Ukraine and Russia.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said there has been a turning point in talks while acknowledging more work needs to be done to iron out some details.
The White House did not disclose those specific details.
The statement follows talks in Geneva over the weekend in which Ukraine and Russia agreed to refine the U.S.-backed proposal.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio led those talks after Kyiv and its European allies expressed concern that the proposal was a Kremlin wish list and pushed for changes.
The original, 28-point peace plan required concessions from both sides.
The proposal states that Russia cannot invade neighboring countries and NATO will not expand any further. Russia must also give up "other agreed upon territories they control outside of the five regions" and is expected to commit to a non-aggression policy against Europe and Ukraine.
The negotiations are part of an intense new push by President Donald Trump to end the yearslong conflict following Russia's invasion in February 2022.
Trump also touted the talks, saying on Monday that "big progress" is being made and "something good may be happening."
The president previously expressed hope that Ukraine would accept a final deal by Thanksgiving. Trump suggested the deadline was "appropriate" for Ukraine to sign off on the proposal or face losing U.S. support.
Meanwhile, Russian officials also gathered for talks.
United States Army Secretary Dan Driscoll met with a Russian delegation in Abu Dhabi this week about the proposed plan for ending the war in Ukraine.
"The talks are going well and we remain optimistic. Secretary Driscoll is closely synchronized with the White House ... as these talks progress," according to U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Tolbert, a spokesperson for Driscoll.
Diplomatic talks on a peace deal have gained momentum amid ongoing attacks. Russia launched a new barrage of drones and missiles at the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Tuesday, killing six people and wounding 13 others. It marked the second major Russian strike on Kyiv this month.
