President Trump confirmed on Fox News (during an interview with Brian Kilmeade) he gave Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a week to review the 28-point peace proposal organized by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
Ukraine will likely never agree to the proposal, because too many European and American interests are grounded in maintaining conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, the shift this time is that if Ukraine/EU/NATO and Congress do not agree to the ceasefire and peace proposal, President Trump has indicated he will withdraw all support.
Axios originally obtained the 28-page proposal, and Politico has confirmed it.
.
Zelenskyy – “President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a joint phone call with President of France Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer, and Federal Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz.
The Head of State thanked them for their principled support for Ukraine and for all our people.
The parties discussed the plan for peace for Ukraine and all of Europe. The leaders value the efforts of the United States, President Trump, and his team aimed at ending this war, and are working on the document prepared by the American side. This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace.
The leaders are coordinating closely to make sure that the principled stances are taken into account. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Friedrich Merz coordinated the next steps and agreed that the teams will work together at the corresponding levels.” (link)

VIA POLITICO – ““Now the pressure on Ukraine is one of the most difficult. Now Ukraine may find itself facing a very difficult choice. Either loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner,” Zelenskyy said, in reference to the U.S., where Trump has long been skeptical of fully backing Kyiv’s war effort.
“They will expect an answer from us,” Zelenskyy said about the peace proposal. “Although in fact I have already given it,” he added, citing the oath he took when he entered office in 2019 to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty.” (LINK)
The big hole I see is how to prevent or deter “deniable” terrorist attacks that dance around the formal cease-fire.
If that hole cannot be plugged there will be more suspicious pipeline explosions, unexplained oil-refinery fires, sabotage against bridges, etc.
A good and fair agreement that needs to be approved. The only thing missing is the right for Ukraine to actually have an election, so that the people have a voice in what their ‘leader’ is doing. It’s unlikely that Zelensky would win an election, which is why one has not been held in years.

Pray for peace and an end to this deep pit into which many lives and much money has been thrown.
At the beginning of 2022 a Ukrainian Orthodox priest or bishop – I forget which – appealed for prayers not for victory but for peace. His priorities were right but not those of his government nor most European governments.
Add the complete removal of all CIA personnel . If Ukraine walks away from this , the US should / must completely stop all assistance . If Europe wants this war so badly , and they do , let them fight it .
Yeah. That would be good for Ukraine.
But, Do you think they would all come home and run for Congress as veterans or former three-letter agency analysts to push a domestic Color Revolution?
Many ordinary people living in Europe do not want the war but sadly their politicians do.
They are shameless warmongers. Hungary is one of a very few who want peace.
If President Trump keeps giving ultimatums and then walks them back he will lose the coalition of people that voted for him to end the conflict or walk away. That was a significant number of voters and the destruction of the America first movement will be well under way.
Just one more tool for the opposition that is already having a destructive impact on the movement.
Mike Pompeo is the president of the leading arms dealer supplying the Ukraine weapons. Betcha didn’t KNow

LONDON — The European Union and the U.K. will take part in high-level talks on Donald Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine starting Sunday, in a significant breakthrough for Brussels and London, which had been shut out of the process until now.
Top security officials from France and Germany will also attend the negotiations, likely to take place in Switzerland, a senior European official told POLITICO, as Ukraine’s allies seek to re-write Trump’s proposal which they fear would favor Russia.
The fact that the Europeans will get seats at the negotiating table will be welcomed in Kyiv, Brussels and beyond, after Ukraine’s allies voiced their concern at being excluded from Trump’s most recent initiative.
“Ukraine will likely never agree to the proposal, because too many European and American interests are grounded in maintaining conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, the shift this time is that if Ukraine/EU/NATO and Congress do not agree to the ceasefire and peace proposal, President Trump has indicated he will withdraw all support.”
Who are the people involved in maintaining war? Why is it we have no idea who the people are who are commanding that thousands of men die every week? Shouldn’t the people of the world have a right to know who is forcing war and death on people?
If anyone here knows who the people are, who are insisting on death for thousands of young men per week, would you please inform us?
It is through the use of our tax dollars, OUR MONEY, used to slaughter men on both sides of the line, so should we not have some idea who is using our money this way and what their goals are?
