US and Ukraine Draft Refined Peace Framework' After Outrage Over Russian Wish List'
"President Donald Trump has pushed Ukraine to accept the deal by November 27, although when asked by reporters if it was his final offer, the president said, No, we'd like to get to peace. The proposed U.S. deal sparked outrage on Saturday after several American senators said Secretary of State Marco Rubio told them the plan was not President Donald Trump's idea, but rather a wish list from the Russians that was leaked to the press."
"Secretary Rubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon, Sen. Mike Rounds (R-ND) said during a press conference at the Halifax International Security Forum on Saturday. I think he made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan. It is a proposal that was received."
"The most recent peace negotiations, which began on Sunday in Switzerland, were held in part to address Ukraine and European nation's concerns over the U.S.-proposed peace plan presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday.

Negotiations aimed to address Ukraine's and European nations' concerns about the U.S.-proposed plan presented to President Volodymyr Zelensky. Controversy arose after senators said Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized the plan as a leaked Russian wish list; Rubio and a State Department spokesperson denied those claims.
