Yesterday, "The Washington Post" reported that the U.S. has been pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace proposal for a Russian negotiation. Ukrainian and European officials continue to criticize Trump's proposed "28-point" peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, calling it a complete concession to the Kremlin. Although Zelenskyy has not publicly commented on the plan, his advisor Mykhailo Podolyak rejected the draft, calling it equivalent to Ukraine's "unconditional surrender." Allies have also expressed similar positions. French Foreign Minister Castaner said: "What we want is a just peace, a lasting peace that respects the sovereignty of all countries and will not be challenged by future aggression. But peace cannot be surrender. We do not want Ukraine to surrender." German Foreign Minister Baerbock said: "We welcome any initiative that helps enter the negotiation phase, but the primary condition is that Putin ends the invasion of Ukraine." European countries especially emphasized that they should be involved in any proposals regarding Ukraine's and Europe's future security. Their statements on Thursday showed that the U.S. did not consult with them on this proposal and did not inform them beforehand.
