After the U.S.-Russia plan, another U.S.-Ukraine plan has come, and the situation in Ukraine has been changing unpredictably, making it hard to understand.

According to RIA Novosti and TASS, on November 24 local time, Russian presidential aide Ushakov responded, stating that Russia had learned of the "peace plan" proposed by Europe and Ukraine. After an initial assessment, the plan was "not constructive and not applicable to Russia."

"This morning, we learned about Europe's proposal," Ushakov told reporters, "At first glance, this plan is completely unconstructive and does not conform to our Russian interests..."

At the same time, Ushakov mentioned the confusion from the U.S. information. He said, "Rubio said 'completely satisfied' with the U.S.-Ukraine talks. But he also said the plan had 28 points and also 26 points... the content was very complicated. In addition, there were many speculations."

He summarized, "We don't know who to believe. But we believe what we see and the information conveyed to us through appropriate channels."

Ushakov also spoke to reporters about the previous "28-point peace plan" proposed by the U.S. and Russia.

"In addition to what the President (Putin) said, I would like to emphasize again one point," Ushakov said, "We have seen this version of the plan, but no one has yet engaged in any specific negotiations with Russia on it." He pointed out that each point of the plan needs detailed discussion by all parties.

Several foreign media outlets reported on November 20 that U.S. President Trump is pushing ahead with an "aggressive timeline" to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict before the end of the year, trying to force Ukraine to accept a newly drafted 28-point peace plan by the U.S. and Russia. The main contents include requiring Ukraine to give up territory in the eastern Donbas region, limiting the size of the Ukrainian army to 600,000, incorporating into the Ukrainian constitution the clause that Ukraine will never join NATO, and inviting Russia to rejoin G8.

It is reported that the U.S. is pressuring Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to sign the agreement before Thanksgiving on the 27th, with the goal of submitting the peace agreement in Moscow later this month and completing all procedures by early December.

RIA Novosti mentioned that Putin had previously stated that Russia had received the text of the U.S. plan, but had not yet conducted detailed discussions. He acknowledged that the document could serve as the basis for the final solution. "Overall, Russia is satisfied with the frontline situation and believes that the special operation is currently being achieved through military force, but Russia is also prepared to resolve the issue peacefully through negotiations."

However, this version has faced strong opposition from Ukraine and European countries. Ukraine and Europe urgently held consultations with the U.S.

On the 23rd local time, delegations from the United States, Ukraine, and European countries met in Geneva to discuss the U.S. proposal for a new "28-point" plan to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict. After the Geneva meeting, Rubio described it as "the most productive and meaningful meeting so far." He implied that Trump's dissatisfaction with Ukraine had been alleviated, and he was "satisfied" with the progress.

After the Geneva negotiations, the U.S. and Ukraine came up with a new "19-point" peace plan. Oleksiy Kyslytsya, First Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine, revealed that this new draft had "almost no similarities" with the "28-point plan."

According to reports by the Financial Times and other media, after several hours of arduous negotiations, the U.S. and Ukraine reached consensus on multiple issues, but temporarily set aside the most controversial clauses such as territorial issues, NATO and U.S.-Russia relations, leaving them for decision-making by Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

However, it is worth noting that the U.S. attitude towards the Ukraine issue has also been ambiguous recently: the U.S. just concluded a "28-point plan" with Russia, and then quickly reached a "19-point plan" with Ukraine; Rubio previously stated that the U.S.-Russia plan was not U.S. policy, but later said that the plan was drafted by the U.S.; while Rubio praised the U.S.-Ukraine talks as "the most productive so far," Trump again criticized Ukraine and Europe...

A European official told the media that the situation within the Trump administration is becoming "chaotic."
