"Donald Trump on Sunday claimed Ukraine had shown no gratitude for US efforts to end the war, as American, Ukrainian and international negotiators met in Switzerland to discuss the peace plan that would involve significant concessions to Moscow from Kyiv. Poland's president, Donald Tusk, asked where Trump's peace plan came from, after an apparent admission by the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, that the text was originally drafted by Moscow."
"It envisages Ukraine handing over territory to Russia and making other major concessions including limiting the size of its army and not joining Nato. Tusk said there were some reservations before work could begin. He added pointedly: It would be good to know for sure who is the author of the plan and where was it created. The document was drawn up by Kirill Dmitriev, Vladimir Putin's envoy, together with Trump's special representative, Steve Witkoff."
American, Ukrainian and international negotiators met in Switzerland to discuss a 28-point peace plan requiring significant concessions from Kyiv to Moscow. The proposal envisages Ukraine handing over territory to Russia, limiting the size of its army and forgoing Nato membership. Poland's president said European leaders, Canada and Japan were ready to work on the plan but had reservations and sought clarity about its origin. Reports named Kirill Dmitriev and Trump's representative Steve Witkoff as drafters and suggested the text may have been written in Russian. Trump criticised Ukraine's gratitude, softened a signing deadline and described the offer as not final.
