Controversy has arisen over the secret meeting of American and Russian officials to end the Ukraine war. According to Reuters, many officials of the US State Department and National Security Council were not aware of this meeting held in October.
The meeting was so secret that the normal procedure of the government was completely bypassed. Many officials were neither informed about it nor any official approval was taken. The report claims that there is resentment within the government regarding this.
A proposal with 28 plans was made in this meeting. The meeting, held in Miami, Florida, was attended by Trump administration’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Russia’s Kirill Dmitriev.
Dmitriev is the chief of Russia’s largest sovereign fund RDIF. There are US sanctions on him from 2022. America had given him exemption to come. Dmitriev is considered close to Putin. He has played an important role in talks with America on the Ukraine war.
Questions are also being raised in the US Parliament (Congress) on this meeting as to how Witkoff and Kushner prepared a proposal after meeting the banned Russian official. (file photo)
Trump’s 28 point plan to stop Ukraine war
The Trump administration has prepared a 28-point plan after the meeting. According to this, Ukraine will have to give about 20% of its share to Russia. This includes the Donbass area of eastern Ukraine. Ukraine will be able to maintain an army of only 6 lakh soldiers.
Ukraine will not enter NATO. NATO forces will not remain in Ukraine. The plan states that if Russia accepts the peace proposals, all sanctions imposed on it will be removed. Besides, assets worth about Rs 2000 crore seized in Europe will also be defreezed.
British PM Keir Starmer, French President Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz said on Friday that their countries are with Ukraine.
Ultimatum of November 27 to Zelensky
Trump has said that I am confident that Ukraine will accept my peace plan. Trump has given Zelensky an ultimatum to respond to the plan by November 27.
Meanwhile, late on Friday night, Russia has supported the American plan. Russian President Putin said that this plan of Trump will become the basis of permanent peace in Ukraine.
Zelensky said- We are on the verge of losing our land
Ukrainian President Zelensky has said that we are on the verge of losing our land and conscience. For the first time in four years of war with Russia, Ukraine is at a crossroads. If we accept the conditions, we will lose a large part of our country. We will also lose the passion and conscience with which we were fighting against Russia.
Zelensky said in an address to the nation on Friday that if Ukraine does not accept the conditions, it will lose a good partner like America. Zelensky said- I want to talk about this with the American President. So that Ukraine’s position can be put forward more strongly.
Trump and Zelensky last met behind closed doors at the White House on October 17.
Ukraine peace plan divided into four parts
This 28 point plan is said to be inspired by the Gaza Peace Plan of the Trump administration. US officials say that this plan has been prepared with input from both sides (Russia and Ukraine), but Ukrainian officials have claimed that they were not included in it.
The probable plan is divided into four parts-
