Trump's Proposal Rejected as 'Putin's Wish List': Politico

According to Politico, European and Ukrainian officials have rejected Donald Trump's new peace proposal, labeling it a 'Putin's wish list' and emphasizing that it disproportionately favors Moscow. It has also been highlighted that there is dissatisfaction in European capitals regarding their exclusion from the development process of the proposal.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha has informed European counterparts that the terms of the initiative are 'clearly dictated by Russia' and cannot guarantee lasting peace.

Politico reports that European diplomats and officials are concerned about Washington's attempts to impose a 'bad deal' on Kyiv, particularly at a time when Ukraine is under pressure both on the battlefield and amid internal scandals. The publication assesses that the proposal has been widely perceived as unsuccessful and unfair, deepening European discontent with U.S. actions.
