US EditionLeadership Debates Intensify Over U.S.-Russia Peace Plan for Ukraine
U.S. officials debate a 28-point peace plan for Ukraine that critics call a Russian agenda, with a Thursday deadline threatening withdrawal of American support.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump set a Thursday deadline for Ukraine to sign the proposal or risk losing U.S. support, with administration reportedly threatening to withhold weapons.
- U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev authored a proposal that includes terms giving Crimea and the Donbas to Russia, caps Ukraine's army, and halts NATO expansion.
- At Halifax, senators relayed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio allegedly called the document Russia's `wish list`, though Rubio later said the U.S. authored the plan with input from both sides, while Natalia Arno criticized it for rewarding an aggressor and lacking real security guarantees.

- Analysts warn accepting the draft risks impunity for Russia and future attacks, observers urge coordinated sanctions by the U.S., Canada and the European Union soon, and commentators say a revised second draft is still possible.
