The Economist: Agreement on a peace plan for Ukraine is accompanied by two conspiracies

The Economist writes about two conspiracies that allegedly accompany the agreement on a peace plan for Ukraine. According to sources, the process of reaching agreements may drag on for several months.

A Western diplomat working in Kyiv said that this is not another round of what happened before.

The article notes that those close to the negotiations talk about “serious progress” bringing some Ukrainian and Russian positions closer together.

At the same time, the publication writes that in the process of resolving the conflict in Ukraine, American diplomacy looks inconsistent due to rivalry within the White House. US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steven Witkoff and Vice President J.D. Vance are committed to a settlement that is beneficial to Russia and gives priority to American commercial interests. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who worked with European allies to scale back the peace plan, takes a different position.

Rubio won the battle, White House sources said, but it won’t be his last.

Previously, Russian President Vladimir Putin statedthat hostilities will stop when Ukrainian troops leave their positions. The Russian leader spoke about this on Thursday, commenting on the US peace plan for Ukraine.
