Nonsense. Putin, as usual, is attempting to cower Europe.
No one is sabotaging a peace deal. Europe is sabotaging — and rightly so — Putin’s dream of a Ukrainian capitulation.

If Barak Ravid’s reporting is accurate, then Trump is saying the peace deal will treat a future Russian attack on Ukraine as an attack on NATO.
I can’t see Putin agreeing to that. Or if he does, he still will attack Ukraine again believing we won’t act.

NEW: Russian state media is leveraging Putin’s recent statements to intensify the false narrative that the frontline in Ukraine will imminently collapse, likely to coerce the West and Ukraine into capitulating to Russian demands that Russia cannot secure itself militarily. isw.pub/UkrWar112925

There are no good guys here. One side, the Rapid Support Force, is committing genocide in Darfur, the gold-rich western region of Sudan they hold. The other, the Sudanese Army, is committing war crimes.

If true, then Congress must create their own coalition of the willing to push back against Team Trump’s potential de facto (but not de jure) recognition of occupied Ukrainian territories as Russian.

Here’s Putin’s answer to President Trump’s peace plan: Nyet.
Clearly, Putin is expecting Trump to roll over & give him whatever he wants.
Why not do the opposite? Give Ukraine what it needs to punch Putin in the mouth. If Team Trump does, then we all will be thankful!

It also suggests, as @mobbs_mentality noted, that Dmitriev principally penned the 28-point plan despite official White House & SecState denials.
If this Bloomberg report is accurate, it’s unforgivable. Yes, I get it, special envoys need leeway to bridge differences & achieve progress.
Some trickery is ok. But this?
If Witkoff actively advised the Russians how to play Trump, it’s treason-like.
