As his administration presses for the end of the nearly four-year war, US President Donald Trump has released a 28-point plan, the details of which were leaked last week. He also is sending his top negotiator Steve Witkoff to Moscow.
However, Ukraine and its allies in Europe expressed concern that the US’s proposal supported a number of Russian demands, including that Ukraine cede more territory, reduce its military size, and be barred from joining NATO.
The proposed amendments have since been made, with some of those concerns being reportedly addressed by the new proposal.
Trump added that even though the war, which has seen Russian forces advance in recent weeks, was going to move only “in one direction,” that progress was being made and Moscow was making concessions.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated to reporters on Wednesday that “there can be no question of any concessions or any surrender of our approaches to those key points.”
According to Jim Townsend, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, Trump is likely to use delay tactics to avoid concessions because of his seniority and focus.
“This could just be a real mess,” he said. There is no pressure on the Russians. They believe they will prevail if they persevere enough, Townsend said, noting that Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been the subject of the pressure so far.
Zelenskyy stated on Tuesday that he was willing to advance the US-backed plan to end the conflict and hold discussions with Trump about issues in talks that the Ukrainian leader said should include allies from Europe.
The US president stated at the White House that the resolution of the Ukraine war was “not easy” but that “we’re close to a deal” was coming.
He said, “I expected that to be a simpler [deal], but I believe we are progressing.”
However, Kaja Kallas, the head of the European Union’s foreign policy, claimed on Wednesday that there was “no indication” that Russia was ready for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
Kallas argued that Russia’s support for Kyiv and additional sanctions against Moscow were necessary, and he argued that any peace agreement must include concrete concessions.
She said, “Any agreement must concentrate on what Russia should do,” adding that Europe must ensure that Moscow “never attacks again.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz added that while Europe wants the war to end as soon as possible, “an agreement reached by great powers without the support of the Ukrainians and the Europeans won’t be the foundation for a real, sustainable peace.”
Merz told German lawmakers, “Europe is a sovereign actor for its own interests and values,” not a plaything.

We regret to inform both West Virginia National Guard members who were both shot earlier today in Washington, DC of their deaths, according to Morrisey.
He continued, “These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country.” West Virginia’s “we will demand full responsibility for this horrific act,” and they will never forget what they did or gave up.
US President Donald Trump made a “very steep price” promise to the offender on his online platform Truth Social.
Trump wrote in his post that “the animal that shot the two National Guardsmen will pay a very steep price,” with both of them suffering from critical injuries and now being treated in two different hospitals.
God bless our nation’s elite, our military, and law enforcement, among others. These people are truly outstanding. I support you in my capacity as President of the United States, along with everyone who works in the Office of the Presidency.
Trump was not present at the White House when the shooting occurred. He had left for Mar-a-Lago to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday there.
The motives for the shooting are still undetermined. Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, stated that her office is collaborating with other law enforcement organizations to conduct an investigation.
Noem pleaded with the public to pray for the two National Guardsmen who were just shot in Washington, DC, on September 22.
After the shooting that occurred downtown, close to the White House, one suspect was taken into custody, according to local police.
The police initially advised people to avoid the shooting site, but later claimed the location had been “secured” for the time being.
Rosiland Jordan, a journalist from Washington, DC, noted the intense security presence at the shooting site.
“We’re seeing a lot of DC police, a lot of the Secret Service, uniformed agents, National Guard personnel all circling a perimeter around the Farragut West metro station,” Jordan said.
A state-based unit that makes up the US military is known as the National Guard. In their states, governors can use them to deal with local emergencies, most notably natural disasters.
In a campaign that he claimed aims to combat crime in the nation’s capital, Trump sent federal troops, including National Guard soldiers, to Washington in August.
The National Guard has been patrolling neighborhoods and transportation hubs in small, three to five-person groups since their deployment.
According to a federal judge’s ruling last week, Jia Cobb, Trump had overstepped the bounds of the executive branch’s authority to suspend the National Guard’s deployment in the capital.
The president had been accused of using National Guard personnel for domestic law enforcement in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
However, Cobb’s decision to suspend the National Guard deployment has been halted for 21 days to give the Trump administration time to file an appeal.
Trump, a Republican, has attempted to expand federal forces’ reach in other Democratic-run cities, which has led to legal disputes and political opposition.
