The US has threatened Ukraine with worsening terms of the peace agreement with Russia if Kyiv does not agree to current offer of 28 items. He writes about this The Guardian with reference to informed interlocutors.

Yesterday, after a conversation with President Zelensky and a call from the White House, US Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, who unexpectedly became the negotiator for the peace agreement, held a briefing for NATO ambassadors in Kyiv.

"It was a terrible meeting. Another argument like 'you don't have the cards'," one of those present at the meeting told the publication.

Driscoll reportedly declined to go into detail about whether the deal offered to Ukraine was the 28-point plan that had been"leaked" to the press."Some things matter, some things are just show-offs, and we've focused most on what matters," he said instead.

Europe is concerned that this"peace plan" was developed quietly by the US and Russia behind Ukraine's back and is now being presented to Kyiv as a done deal. Driscoll justified this approach by saying that it makes the process more manageable.

"President Trump wants peace now. The more cooks in the kitchen, the harder it is to handle it," he said, according to a source present at the meeting.

At the same time, the US Chargé d'Affaires ai in Kyiv, Julie Davis, who was of course also present at the meeting, told European diplomats that although the terms of the agreement are harsh for Ukraine, Kyiv has no choice but to agree to them, otherwise it will have to face worse conditions in the future.

"This won't make the deal better, it'll make it worse," she said.

Trump's"peace plan"

As UNIAN reported, 28 points of the"peace plan" allegedly proposed to Ukraine by the Americans were leaked to the press. It includes, in particular, points on limiting the size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukraine's non-aligned status, lifting sanctions on the Russian Federation, transferring the rest of Donbas under Russian control, etc.

It is still not known for certain how much the published plan corresponds to what was actually offered to Ukraine. However, Zelenskyy stated the day before that I really got some kind of plan and it's the same with 28 points According to the president, Ukraine is faced with a choice - either accept this plan or lose a"key partner." Obviously, this refers to the United States.
