Russians say that Kushner may come to Moscow with Witkoff to meet with Putin. Figure out.
Republican Congressman Don Bacon slammed U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. “If he were a paid Russian agent, would he be doing anything differently? He must be removed.” Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick added, “These secret side shows need to end. Let Secretary Rubio handle this with fairness and objectivity.”

Anecdotally, while I was looking for a source to refer to for this article with the search words ”Russia rejects US peace plan”, I found media articles on that topic from November 2024, February, May, June, September, and October 2025.
Made an effort to establish a timeline of this latest iteration of essentially the same old attempt by the Trump administration to force a peace deal, doomed to fail like the previous three times.
The number of plot twists would have been amusing, if it wasn’t so cruel to Ukraine.

The White House is lying. Trump, Vance, Witkoff and Rubio are lying.
The 'peace plan' is input from Russia only.
Giving up occupied territories, no Nato membership, no military protection, Moscow's churches in Ukraine, Putin's nazi narrative, etc., it's all Russian.
