Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

❗️Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine is Russia's "wish list": a group of senators stated that the Secretary of State told them this.
Rubio himself denied these words. And emphasized: the plan was prepared by America taking into account the positions of both Russia and Ukraine.

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.
