About the origins of the 28-point plan to end Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine There is contradictory information from America. According to two US senators, the plan was not developed by the United States. “That’s not our recommendation, that’s not our peace plan,” Republican Senator Mike Rounds said at a security forum in Halifax, Canada, citing a phone call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. According to independent Senator Angus King, the plan is “basically a Russian wish list.”
The senators said, Rubio called them and explained that the US was “the recipient of the proposal,” Rounds said. This was left to US intermediaries. Rounds therefore described the draft as a “proposal” that the United States did not intend to make public. “It leaked,” the South Dakota Republican said of media reports that made the plan known.
Rubio on his way to Geneva
Rubio is now contradicting senators. He writes on Platformthe plan serves “as a solid framework for ongoing negotiations.” He’s from United States of America was created and is based on “suggestions from the Russian side, but also on previous and current contributions from Ukraine”. Rubio is on his way to Geneva to discuss Ukraine plans.
State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott also spoke out against King and Rounds: “As Secretary of State Rubio and the entire administration have repeatedly emphasized, this plan was written by the United States, with contributions from Russia and Ukraine,” Pigott wrote on Saturday (local time) on the online service X. This is by no means a “wish list from Russia.”
Sen. King of Maine called the draft “a guide to narrowing the problem between Ukraine and Russia.” The goal is to achieve peace “that respects Ukraine’s integrity and sovereignty, does not reward aggression and offers adequate security guarantees.”
The peace plan demands concessions from Ukraine
A draft peace plan containing 28 points has been circulating for days; many of them come from above all else Russia profit. Ukraine, in turn, was asked to make major concessions. US President Donald Trump initially asked Ukraine to approve the plan on Thursday. But he later signaled that it was not the final offer.
Because of these plans, the government in Kyiv and its European allies are in crisis mode. This week, representatives from Germany, France and Britain as well as the EU want to talk to the United States and Ukraine about the Swiss proposal. The aim of the talks between Ukraine’s allies is to negotiate what they see as unacceptable concessions to Russia from the plan. The meeting in Geneva will take place at the advisory level to heads of state and government.
