Analysis of the language used in Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” shows it was drafted in Russian and translated into English.

Dear Ukraine,
I apologize. I’m sorry my country elected someone who works for Putin. Someone who’s on Putin’s side. As long as he is President, America won’t stand with you. Just know tho, that most Americans DO stand with you.

Actually, we, among the soldiers, look very closely to what Zelenskyy does.
We have feeling that USA is trying to push us into a “bad deal” and this time again - Zelenskyy stands up for us and represents the will of Ukraine’s soldiers.
Soldiers disapprove Witkoff’s “peace”.

Twelve years ago today, Ukrainians began the Revolution of Dignity. Our fight for freedom continues to this day.
