The Telegraph published a 24-point European counter-plan proposing ceasefire at current lines, NATO-style US security guarantees for Ukraine, return of abducted children and prisoners, Ukrainian control of Zaporizhzhia plant and Kakhovka dam, plus reconstruction funded by frozen Russian assets.

No, it’s not a “good morning” in Ukraine.

russian terrorists once again tried to force their “peace plan” — by hitting a residential building.

In Dnipro, 14 people were injured. Among them is an 11-year-old girl.

Someone please explain WTF is going on in the US.

We're pretty sure the 28 point plan came from @kadmitriev, because @SteveWitkoff admitted it.

@marcorubio confirmed this to US senators, calling it a Russian proposal.

Later he said it was US-authored.

What a clown show.🤡

Democratic Sen. Angus King said during a panel that Rubio told him that the plan was a "wish list of the Russians" and was "not the administration’s plan," with Republican Sen. Mike Rounds echoing the comments, adding that it appeared "more like it was written in Russian to begin with."

Btw, I do hope people understand what they have seen today. It was a well-planned and deliberate ambush of Ukraine by Trump, to force the Ukrainians to bend the knee to Putin's dictatorship. It was not slip-shod, rushed, impulsive or an accident. It was prepared malice.

During the November 14 drone strike on Kyiv, 73-year-old Nataliya Khodemchuk was killed. She was the widow of Valery Khodemchuk, the first victim of the Chernobyl disaster. A Russian Shahed drone hit her building, leaving her with severe burns. She died the next morning in hospital.

2/5 The Epstein emails changed everything. They show Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump.

That means Trump may have betrayed the US and pushed Russian interests to avoid exposure.

That is traitorous. We all suspected this, but seeing proof is shocking
