White House: Trump Not Biased in Favor of Russia - U.S. Ukraine peace proposal sparks backlash from Kyiv and Europe

The U.S. has put forward a peace plan to end the war in Ukraine, but the proposal has faced strong resistance. Ukraine and its European allies rejected the initial terms, arguing they favoured Moscow too heavily. Discussions in Geneva have since led to revisions, though key disagreements remain.

The original 28-point plan, presented by the Trump administration, demanded major concessions from Ukraine. These included handing over large parts of eastern Ukraine to Russia and capping troop numbers at 600,000. Critics claimed the proposal closely mirrored Moscow’s demands, sparking backlash from both Kyiv and European partners.

Despite modifications, Ukraine and its allies continue to push for further changes. The U.S. maintains that its goal is a balanced resolution, but the plan’s reception highlights deep divisions. Negotiations are ongoing, with no immediate breakthrough in sight.
