HALIFAX, USA: US senators critical of President Donald Trump’s approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine war said Saturday that the peace plan he is pushing Kyiv to accept would only reward Moscow for its aggression and send a message to other leaders who have threatened their neighbors. The 28-point peace plan was crafted by the Trump administration and the Kremlin without Ukraine’s involvement. It acquiesces to many Russian demands that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has categorically rejected on dozens of occasions, including giving up large pieces of territory.

European officials have said the US president’s new 28-point peace plan is a ‘capitulation’

Reports of a US and Russian-brokered peace plan for Ukraine suggest huge disadvantage for Kyiv, experts say.
