Trump Indicates Ukraine Peace Plan Open to Revisions Amid International Discussions

President Donald Trump has indicated that the U.S.-drafted peace proposal aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine is open to revisions. Speaking at the White House, Trump stated, "We'd like to get to peace. It should've happened a long time ago... we're trying to get it ended, one way or the other we have to get it ended."

The 28-point plan, developed in collaboration with Russian officials, calls for Ukraine to cede certain territories to Russia, reduce its military size, and forgo NATO membership aspirations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed concerns, emphasizing the need for a "dignified" peace based on "guaranteed security and justice."

In response to the proposal, European leaders have called for further revisions to better protect Ukrainian interests. A joint statement from the G20 and the European Council highlighted the necessity for additional work on the plan, particularly concerning provisions that affect Ukraine's borders and military capabilities.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has clarified that the proposal is intended as a framework for ongoing negotiations, incorporating input from both sides. Deputy State Department spokesman Tommy Piggott refuted claims that the plan was solely a Russian "wish list," labeling such assertions as "blatantly false."

As discussions continue, Ukrainian and American officials are set to meet in Geneva, with participation from security officials from France, Britain, and Germany, to deliberate on the proposed plan and explore potential adjustments.
