"As the U.S. administration tries to bully Ukraine and its allies into accepting an unjust “peace” that will never last, we must continue calling for Ukrainians to be heard, respected, and supported," writes historian Timothy Snyder in his recent op-ed. https://t.co/VoGBdxfWHJ

Bloomberg has revealed that U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff held a phone call with Putin’s top foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, in mid-October, advising on how to approach Trump with a joint Ukraine peace plan. Witkoff suggested flattering Trump over his Gaza deal and referencing a “20-point peace plan” as a way to gain traction. This conversation appears to have laid the groundwork for what later became the 28-point U.S. peace proposal, now at the center of intense international negotiation. Trump confirmed he was aware of Witkoff's efforts and defended them, calling it “standard negotiation,” saying both sides need to give and take. In a follow-up, Witkoff met Kremlin adviser Kirill Dmitriev in Miami, where the Russian side aimed to push a version of the deal closely aligned with Moscow’s interests, including territorial concessions and a demilitarized buffer zone. Though Kyiv has resisted core elements, it has since won concessions after talks with Secretary of State Rubio. Still, the recordings and meeting trail show how deeply coordinated parts of the plan were with Russian input, raising major concerns over its impartiality.

Ukraine supports most of the revised U.S. peace plan but firmly rejects three key demands: reducing the size of its armed forces, abandoning NATO membership, and making any territorial concessions, CNN reports. Gen. Hnatov clarified that Geneva talks only addressed Ukraine’s future peacetime army, not any demobilization.

WSJ and Bloomberg confirm what’s now undeniable: Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff didn’t just misstep, he actively worked against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

Rep. Mike Quigley questioned whether U.S. security guarantees under Trump can be trusted, especially by European allies. “Why would anyone believe a president who let Putin blow through six deadlines? He makes promises and nothing happens, just like the Tomahawks. He slaps tariffs on allies and tells NATO they’re on their own. It all changes month to month.”

Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed Russian and Ukrainian intel held sensitive talks in the UAE, including on POW swaps. He noted a “surprise guest” appeared: U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, who met both sides. He claimed, it was arranged with Ukraine but not Moscow. Yeah, Witkoff’s such a surprise for you, Yuri. Almost like you wrote the script together.
