What's wrong with Trump's peace plan?
Republican Mike Rounds made a statement on this matter.
According to the latter, the US is only the recipient of a proposal that was passed on to one of the American representatives.
"This is not our recommendation. This is not our peace plan. This is a proposal that we received, and as mediators we agreed to make it public — but we did not make it public. It was made public," Mike Rounds claims.
The head of American diplomacy, Marco Rubio, decided to comment on these loud statements.
He confirmed that this “peace plan” is actually a Russian proposal, not a US initiative.
The peace proposal was prepared by the United States. It is offered as a solid basis for the ongoing negotiations. It is based on the contribution of the Russian side. But it is also based on the previous and ongoing contributions of Ukraine.
