A secret 28-point peace proposal aimed at ending the Ukraine conflict was leaked and confirmed involving US envoy
Steve Witkoff and Russian adviser
Kirill Dmitriev, with links to former
Donald Trump.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the plan as "absurd and unacceptable" and refused to attend a trilateral meeting, choosing to pursue peace talks developed with European partners instead. The US plans a $105 million sale of the
Patriot missile system to Kyiv as Russian missile attacks continue, while European officials condemn the proposal and call for an unconditional Russian ceasefire.
