Ukraine alarmed as US pushes peace framework aligning with Moscow demands

"U.S. President Donald Trump is mounting yet another push to end Russia's war against

Ukraine, as Washington begins testing a new peace framework that has already sparked unease among Ukrainian officials.
A source in the President's Office told the Kyiv Independent that a new peace plan is being crafted by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who's been in direct contact with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia's senior economic negotiator.
The reported proposals also include reducing Ukraine's army, among other concessions.
A source in the President's Office was decidedly unenthusiastic about the possible plan when speaking to the Kyiv Independent, adding that Washington appears to be shifting toward a framework aligned with Moscow's demands." KI
