On November 21 local time, the CCTV reporter learned that Roger Wicker, the chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee and a Republican, publicly expressed strong doubts about President Trump's peace plan for Ukraine, indicating that this plan has encountered significant resistance within the Republican Party.
As one of the most steadfast supporters of Ukraine in Congress, Wicker said that the plan promoted by Trump offers Moscow overly favorable terms, which are unacceptable. He pointed out that this so-called peace plan "has serious problems" and emphasized that he "highly doubts that it can truly bring peace."
Wicker criticized that Ukraine should not be forced to give up territory, nor should it be required to limit its military size; at the same time, Russian President Putin should not receive any guarantees from the United States. He also questioned whether Russia is trustworthy and whether it would actually reduce its military forces.
Analysts pointed out that Wicker's statement is the most significant opposition within the Republican Party since Trump announced his "28-point" peace plan proposal. His position highlights that, in the context of the extremely tense situation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, peace concepts requiring Kyiv to make major concessions have not only caused unease among Ukrainians but also increasingly raised doubts in Washington.
