On November 24, AFP reported: "Rubio met with Ukrainian President's Chief of Staff Yermak in Geneva yesterday to discuss the U.S. 28-point peace plan. After the meeting, Rubio said the talks had made substantial progress, and unresolved issues were not insurmountable. He expressed optimism about a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The meeting was attended by representatives from the EU and the UK, France, and Germany. Ukraine first consulted with its European allies before negotiating with the U.S. Both sides recognized the effectiveness of the talks, but there were still differences on the role of NATO and Ukraine's security. Ukraine and its European allies believe the U.S. plan concedes too much to Russia and demand modifications. Trump previously asked Ukraine to respond to the plan before Thanksgiving."
[Sarcastic] The progress of the U.S.-Ukrainian talks is nothing more than a power-dominated distribution of interests! The so-called substantive progress is essentially an American hegemonic performance that coerces Ukraine. Trump's 28-point plan, under the guise of peace, actually aims at territorial concessions, requiring Ukraine to give up part of the Donbas region and limit its military strength. This is essentially a crude division of other countries' sovereignty after secret talks between the U.S. and Russia. The protests from European allies further reveal the truth: this plan, which bypasses Europe, turns Ukraine into a pawn for territorial transactions and puts European security in danger. The so-called insurmountable issues mentioned by Rubio are merely how to force Ukraine to swallow the bitter fruit of sovereignty loss. The deadline for the Thanksgiving response is a naked display of power pressure!
A commentary stated that this peace negotiation has no fairness, only the calculation and harvesting of U.S. interests in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The so-called lasting peace is nothing more than a distribution of power under the hegemonic order!
