Peace Plan Puzzle: Trump's 28-Point Proposal for Ukraine-Russia Conflict

A 28-point peace plan to end the Ukraine-Russia war has been approved by President Trump. However, it's unclear if Ukraine is on board with the proposal. The plan was reportedly written by Kirill Dmitriev, an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy, during a meeting in Miami last month. The plan has been in the works for about a month, with Witkoff consulting both Russian and Ukrainian parties to gather feedback. The details of the plan are not fully known, but reports suggest it involves Ukraine giving up some territory, weapons, and reducing its army size. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that the war must end, but he also emphasized that there should be no rewards for waging war. Meanwhile, the U. S. is continuing its diplomatic efforts, including a visit to Kyiv by a delegation led by the U. S. Army secretary. However, Russian missiles have continued to strike Ukraine, with a recent attack on an apartment building in Ternopil killing at least 26 people, including three children. The timing of the strike is notable, as it occurred just as the U. S. approved a $100 million package to upgrade Ukraine's Patriot missile-interceptor systems. This raises questions about the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts in the face of ongoing violence.
