Good evening. I'm Ali Rogan. John Yang is away. A full court press in Geneva tonight, as U.S. officials put the heat on Ukraine to accept a peace deal.

Who authored the plan became a point of contention, while President Trump said Ukrainian leadership had expressed zero gratitude for American efforts.

Nick Schifrin has more on the diplomatic efforts spanning oceans.

known as the E3. And in the E3 draft, provided to Ukraine and obtained by PBS News,
