Two peace plans for Ukraine

Accusations that Putin dictated terms of Trump's proposal

OFFICIALS from the United States, Europe, and Ukraine met in Geneva on November 23 to discuss Washington's draft plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine.

President Donald Trump said on November 21 that Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, had until Thursday to approve the 28-point plan, which would compel Ukraine to renounce ambitions to join NATO, accept limits on its military, and cede territory.

European allies said they were not consulted while Washington was drafting the plan, leading to some confusion as to which parties were involved in formulating it.

Republican Eugene Vindman (D-Va.) told news channel MSNBC that he believed the plan was 'basically drafted by Putin.' As Ryan Morgan reports for The Epoch Times, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on November 22, disputed claims that Trump's latest plan to end the fighting in Ukraine amounted to a wish list for Russia.

'The peace proposal was authored by the U.S.,' Rubio wrote in a post on X.

Rubio added that the proposal incorporated input from both the Russian and Ukrainian sides in the conflict, but his choice of words was careful: "It is based on input from the Russian side. But it is also based on previous and ongoing input from Ukraine."
