US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has clarified that the 28-point Ukraine peace deal was drafted by the US, taking inputs from both Russia and Ukraine. This statement comes as lawmakers are questioning the plan's fairness, accusing it of favoring Russia's interests. Rubio's comments contradict earlier claims by State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott, who stated that the plan was authored by the US with input from Russia and Ukraine. The controversy has sparked debate ahead of the Geneva talks on Sunday, where President Donald Trump has urged the Ukrainians to accept the plan within days. A group of US lawmakers, including Republican Mike Rounds, independent Angus King, and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, expressed concerns that the plan is essentially a 'Russian wish list.' They claimed that Rubio told them the plan was not the official US position but rather a proposal received from Russia. The lawmakers' statements have added to the growing tensions surrounding the peace deal, which aims to resolve the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the US plan will be accepted by all parties involved.
