A confidential U.S. peace proposal to end the Ukraine war was secretly presented by envoy Steve Witkoff to European officials in Paris on April 17, 2025. The leaked plan includes a permanent ceasefire, Ukraine’s NATO exit, U.S. recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, and economic benefits for both Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine would regain limited territory and receive financial aid, while Russia would benefit from lifted sanctions. The plan, labeled Washington’s “final offer,” signals a dramatic shift in U.S. diplomacy. Both Russia and Ukraine have yet to issue formal responses.

A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s inner circle over Russia’s intentions in the Ukraine war. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Keith Kellogg urge caution, Trump leans toward aide Steve Witkoff, who believes Moscow seeks peace. Witkoff’s meetings with Putin, including a recent 5-hour session, intensified the divide. Meanwhile, a deadly missile strike in Sumy triggered further controversy, with Trump calling it a "mistake" while others condemned it. Russia blames Ukraine for escalation and misinformation. As trust wanes, US foreign policy appears sharply divided.

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative.
