US EditionAmerican senators rip Trump’s Ukraine peace proposal at international security conference in Canada
Senators condemned the 28-point peace plan for conceding to Russian demands without Ukraine's input, calling it a serious geopolitical error and likening it to historic appeasement.
- At Halifax's Westin hotel on Saturday, American senators criticized a U.S. peace plan crafted by the Trump administration and the Kremlin without Ukraine's involvement.
- Senators objected because the plan concedes to Russian demands, including territory Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejects, and Independent Sen. Angus King, Maine, likened it to the 1938 Munich Pact as appeasement.
- Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said `then the President ought to find new advisors` if officials appease Putin, while Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen called the plan `an outrage` and `very clearly written by Putin and Russia`.
- Internationally, Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed the proposal late Friday, saying it `could form the basis of a final peace settlement`, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pledged to `work calmly` with Washington and partners, insisting on fair treatment.
- The forum this year drew about 300 attendees and the Trump administration suspended participation of U.S. defense officials; senators warned Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un are watching closely, raising U.S. credibility stakes.
