Ukraine has agreed to a peace deal with Russia that was brokered by the United States, but a cautious Volodymyr Zelensky warned "much work" remains to be done.
"Following the meetings in Geneva, we see many prospects that can make the path to peace real," Zelensky wrote in an X post on Tuesday. "There are solid results, and much work still lies ahead."
This morning, I spoke with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom @Keir_Starmer. It was a good and very productive conversation.

News of the agreement came hours after a Russian missile barrage in Ukraine that left at least seven dead, the Associated Press reported. Meanwhile, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is meeting with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi in an effort to get the Russians on board with the peace plan.

Donald Trump, the Neville Chamberlain of our times, will now spend the rest of his miserable life being blamed for selling out Ukraine.
Couldnt happen to a more deserving guy.
🇺🇸 What the 28‑Point U.S. Proposal Contains
The full text hasn’t been officially released, but multiple outlets (ABC News, Sky News, Al Jazeera, CBS, The Hill) have published detailed summaries. Here are the major components:
Territorial Concessions
Ukraine must cede land currently under its control — including areas Russia has long demanded.
Borders would be redrawn to reflect Russian occupation lines.
Crimea remains under Russian control permanently.
Military Restrictions on Ukraine
Limits on the size of Ukraine’s military would be imposed.
Restrictions on long‑range weapons and missile systems.
Foreign troop presence banned on Ukrainian soil.
NATO & Security Guarantees
Ukraine must agree never to join NATO — a core Russian demand.
Alternative “NATO‑style” security guarantees would be provided by the U.S. and select allies.
International monitoring mission to oversee compliance.
Political & Governance Requirements
Ukraine must hold new elections under international supervision.
Decentralization measures for regions with Russian‑speaking populations.
Legal protections for Russian language and culture .
Ceasefire & Withdrawal Terms
Immediate ceasefire upon signing.
Phased withdrawal of Russian forces from some—but not all—occupied areas.
Demilitarized buffer zones established along new lines of control.
Economic & Reconstruction Components
Sanctions relief for Russia tied to compliance.
International reconstruction fund for Ukraine.
Restoration of trade channels between Ukraine and Russia.
🧭 Why the Plan Is Controversial
Across outlets, analysts describe the proposal as “painful” for Ukraine and “emphatically favorable to Russia” .
Key concerns include:
It mirrors Russia’s long‑standing demands almost point‑for‑point.
It forces Ukraine to give up territory and accept permanent limits on sovereignty.
It may undermine European security principles , especially the norm against changing borders by force.
European governments have reacted coolly, and Ukrainian officials have acknowledged the plan puts them in a “difficult position.”
I dont see anything in there for Ukraine, other than the promise of reconstruction funding.
I don't see anything in there as far as concessions for Russia either. Looks like Putin is getting what he wants without having to pay anything in return.
Which is why Trump will live out his life in disgrace over this.
Nah, he'll just claim otherwise and his cultists will eat it up. In MAGA world Trump can do no wrong. If Epstein couldn't change their views of him, nothing can.
Now let's wait and see if Putin demands more than that.
Ukraine didn't start this bullshit but this looks like the Treaty of Versailles
