"It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan. Rounds continued: It is a proposal that was received. And as an intermediary, we have made arrangements to share it. And we did not release it. It was leaked. It was not released by our members or our representatives This is an opportunity to receive it and that it has been utilized and delivered to the Ukrainians, and that they will have an opportunity to respond."
"Several U.S. Senators on Saturday said Secretary of State Marco Rubio (R) told them the widely reported 28-point peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war is not President Donald Trump's idea, but rather a wish list from the Russians that was leaked to the press. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-ND), according to PBS NewsHour reporter Nick Schifrin, said Rubio called him and other lawmakers to make it very clear"
Senators said Secretary of State Marco Rubio told them the widely reported 28-point peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war is not President Donald Trump's idea but rather a Russian wish list that was leaked to the press. Sen. Mike Rounds said Rubio called him and other lawmakers and made clear they are recipients of a proposal delivered to a representative, not the administration's recommendation or peace plan. Rounds said the document was received and shared as an intermediary and that it was leaked rather than released by members. Rounds said the document has been delivered to the Ukrainians, who will have an opportunity to respond. Sen. Angus King said the plan is not the administration's position and is essentially the Russians’ wish list. Senators made the comments at the Halifax International Security Forum, and Rubio had not posted about the claims on X as of Saturday evening. Earlier information indicated the Trump administration had been working in consultation with Russia on drafting a new plan to end the war.
